A simple easy Citrus Salt Scrub!

Citrus Salt Scrub

1/2 cup of Finely ground Dead Sea Salt or other Salt
1 oz Whipped Shea Butter
1 oz Fractionated Coconut Oil
30-40 drops (approximately 2ml) of Citrus EO
Optional Colorant if you prefer a particular shade
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the Fractionated Coconut Oil and Shea Butter. Mix these well, until thoroughly combined. Next, stir in the Dead Sea or Fine Salt. Add the colorant and essential oil and mix once more. Spoon into a sterile jar.

The best way I have found to use this neat recipe is to step into the shower and scrub all over with this mixture. THEN turn the water on, shower and rinse. After showering, moisture your skin with a nice shea butter skin lotion. To preserve your recipe for longer use (if not using a preservative), use a clean spoon or spatula to scoop out one serving at a time instead of taking the jar into the shower with you where you’re sure to get water into it!

Herbal Steam Facial

2 handfuls herbs or flowers
6 cups boiling water

Coarsely chop the herbs or flower and place them in a bowl. Slowly add boiling water to herbs or flowers.As you lean your head over the bowl, cover your head and the bowl with a thick towel. Now, simply close your eyes and dream of your favorite quiet place for about 10-15 minutes. Afterwards, just splash your face with lukewarm, then cool water. Herbs and flowers that are great to use include lemon balm, spearmint, chamomile, parsley, violets, rose petals, peppermint, sage, lavender. Always use caution when using hot water, and if you have any allergies to the flowers/herbs, use common sense.

You could also use a drop or two of Essential Oils of the above herbs/flowers. Pure Essential Oils can be found at TLC NATURALLY - just click on the name and browse all the essential oils and the homemade soaps that are made at TLC NATURALLY.
