Olive Oil Body Scrub
As summer starts to show itself in endless blue skies and lighter evenings, prep your skin with this Mediterranean inspired sugar scrub. The mix of olive oil and brown sugar both exfoliates and moisturises to leave your skin smooth and hydrated. The essential oil drops are optional here as the lemon and olive scent is enough in itself, however a few drops of neroli or patchouli would balance perfectly.
Christmas Coffee Scrub
There’s nothing like a citrusy, spiced scent to leave you feeling festive. This scrub will not only leave your skin smooth and party dress ready, but also uses up those leftover coffee grounds that otherwise only end up in the bin. Rub over dry skin and wash off in the shower, and make sure to moisturise after to leave your skin silky smooth.
Bath Salts for Glowing Skin
There’s nothing quite as relaxing as a bath, with the natural magnesium in the salts perfect for soothing muscles. Rose, geranium and chamomile essential oils help to calm irritated skin and leave you with a glowing complexion. Simply combine the carrier oil with the essential oils and mix through the salts and dried flowers. Add half a cup of the mixture loose into your bath and soak. If you’d rather not sit in amongst the flowers, fill a cotton bag with your mix and leave it to infuse as you relax.
