    DIY: body scrubs and oils

    3 December 2013

    Think about it: what you put on your skin should be good enough to put into your body. Products at home will be free of harsh chemicals and preservatives. Here’s how to indulge your inner beauty alchemist!

    Sea salt scrub
    In a pestle and mortar or a food processor, blend together 2 tablespoons of sea salt, 3 teaspoons grated ginger, the finely grated the peel of 1 lime, 6 slices chopped cucumber and 15 ml almond oil.

    Green tea scrub
    This scrub is gentle enough for use on delicate areas of the body like the décolletage and bust. Mix together 2 tablespoons green tea leaves, 1 tablespoon uncooked brown rice (with the husks left on), 1 teaspoon honey and 15 ml sweet almond oil.

    Nourishing body oil
    Decant the following ingredients into a glass bottle:
    50 ml jojoba oil
    30 ml almond oil
    15 ml apricot kernel oil
    5 ml wheatgerm oil
    18 drops ylang-ylang essential oil
    10 drops sweet orange oil
    6 drops lavender essential oil

    Apply sparingly after a bath or shower.

    Circulation-boosting body oil
    Decant the following ingredients into a glass bottle:
    50 ml peach kernel oil
    10 drops geranium essential oil
    4 drops lavender essential oil
    4 drops sandalwood essential oil
    2 drops lemongrass essential oil

    (These oils will stay fresh for six months in an airtight container at room temperature)
