Vanilla & Lavender Body Scrubs

Pin It Now!

As promised here is the recipe for the body scrubs:

After I made this, I tried some {just on my hands} to see what it feels like, as Cheri and myself have this most difficult skin type. ... very sensitive.   

I liked it, my hands felt softer immediately, and I had no strange reaction or anything of the kind.  But, I have to admit - I absolutely LOVE the Vanilla!!  The smell ... heavenly!

6 parts Epsom Salt

2 parts Sea Salt {I used Maldon}

1 1/2 parts Bicarbonate of Soda

1 part fine Coconut

1/2 part Almond Oil   {you can increase or decrease this as you prefer}

Few drops Lavender Essential Oil  {quantity depends on your preference}

Few drops Vanilla Essence   {   "   quantity as above   "   }

Vanilla seeds  {   "  quantity as above   "   }

Few drops Blue Food Coloring

Few drops Yellow Food Coloring

- Mix the Epsom Salt, Sea Salt, Bicarbonate of Soda and the Coconut - add the Almond Oil {start with a small amount and add until you reach your preferred texture} - Divide the mixture in two.

- Add a few drops of Lavender Essential Oil and Blue Food Coloring to one half - mix well.

- Add a few drops of Vanilla Essence, Vanilla Seeds and a few drops Yellow Food Coloring to the other half of the mixture - mix well.

I used two small containers, added  labels, some bows and an ice-cream stick - all ready to use or to give as a gift  !

Would you make Bath salts and Body scrubs for yourself or only as a gift?  ... or both ..?

Later,
