As soon as i got home yesterday I tucked myself away in a corner and trawled the Internet for externally applied beauty recipes. I found like a gazillion of them.
I started with recipes that i already had in the house. I decided on an olive oil, honey & lavender essential oil salt scrub. Easy!
I used an old Disaronno bottle to store it.
Directions;
*use a funnel to pour in normal table salt
*add about 10 drops of your preferred essential oil (depending on how much you make)
*shake it!!! Then pour in olive oil so that the mixture runny enough to come out the bottle but not watery.
*Then squeeze in some honey, I used organic clear honey.
*shake it!!! And you're done!
It's that easy, it's that cheap & it smells amazing.
After i had my mixture ready i ran a bath and added a few drops of the lavender oil for extra relaxation.
The results were amazing. My skin is normal with a small amount of dry skin on my shins. The scrub removed rough parts of my skin whilst the oil moisturised and restored any extra dryness caused by the salt.
I wanted to know exactly how much of a difference this had made so i kept my experiment to myself and didnt tell my boyfriend Chris to see if he noticed anything.
After drying and dressing i went downstairs and laid my legs across him. His first comment was that i smelled really nice 'like flowers and stuff' were his exact words. His second comment was ' your legs are dead smooth' i see this as a huge result, Chris isn't the type of person to recognise skin changes, he is an avid smeller though so i give this homemade scrub 10/10
It wasnt messy to make, it wasnt hard to make, it was cheap and smells great. I won't buy a salt scrub ever again, not when I can make my own, know exactly whats in it and get the same if not better results!
Try it!!
