Homemade Body Scrub from the Storecupboard January 08, 2013 |
Hello With the start of a New Year, people's attention turns to their holidays. Exfoliating winter skin is something that you shouldn't leave until the last minute. There are recipes here for home made body scrubs - using fresh herbs or essential oils. You can use sea salt or sugar - some people use oatmeal, but that doesn't dissolve and can clog your drains - sugar and salt both dissolve when you rinse them off. You need more oil in the first recipe as you will lose some when you strain the herbs. To use a body scrub, first of all bathe or shower, then take a handful of the scrub and rub it on to your arms, legs and anywhere you feel you have some rough skin. Rub it in well, then rinse off - you'll be left with lovely silky feeling skin from the oil. I use it once a week through the year, making different batches every month or so. 100 g of salt to 30 to 50ml of oil works well. And finally as a bonus this month, have a look at this natural remedy for acid reflux.Some people report the pain from this when it wakes them in the night as thinking they're having a heart attack. This simple herbal remedy will prevent the 'burning' feeling. So that's it for now - short and sweet like I said.I hope you find the tutorials useful - if you have any questions or comments, then please email me or leave feedback via the Facebook commenting box at the bottom of the pages.
