Weekend of pampering - the body

I really need a body scrub, back to the kitchen it is then. This weekend lets start with sugar

Sugar and jojoba oil body scrub

Jojoba oil is an excellent moisturiser

The ingredients  (I got all my ingredients from Bare Naturels Cosmetics, exception the sugar of course which was in my kitchen)

100ml jojoba oil

500g  sugar

5-10 drops of lavender oil

Mix ingredients together.

Direction for use

Rub on skin, massage, relax in a warm bath and rinse. I figure this will be a good one for the relaxing evening bath. Lavender will have me sleeping like a baby.

Comments after first use

Skin felt really silky after a nice soak. Loved it.

The body butter

In my recipe I have used Shea butter, a great moisturiser and added coconut oil in addition to the avocado oil. Coconut oil has many benefits but the reason its in my face cream is because it contains anti-oxidants that help prevent wrinkles. The rosemary will make my cream smell nice.

Ingredients (I got all my ingredients from Bare Naturels Cosmetics)

3 tablespoons Shea butter

1 tablespoon coconut oil

I tablespoon avocado oil

2 tablespoon Glycerin

2-3 drops of rosemary essential oil

Whip everything together until a nice texture is formed.

Directions for use

I plan on using the cream twice a day as I would any other body butter

Comments after first use

Loved the texture and provided the moisture my dry skin needs.
