Lavender Body Scrub Recipe for Beautiful Skin

There are many commercial scrubs available, why would you bother to shop for a product that has ingredients you don’t necessarily want in your life or on your skin?

Here’s a lovely recipe you can easily make with ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen cabinets. Create your own Home Spa easily and often!

Lavender Essential Oil Body Scrub

• Olive Oil 1/2 cup
• Fine Sea Salt 1/2 cup
• Lavender Essential Oil 10 drops

Lavender is known for being excellent for the skin, but there are other essential oils you may also want to try: Melrose (which happens to be on special right now, 10% off), Clarity, Frankincense, Cedarwood, Peace & Calming (restful sleep), or maybe Rosewood if you’re not feeling well.

Mix together all of the ingredients, and place in clean dry jar.
Use this after you bathe or shower (but stay in tub/shower to rinse off).
Place small amount in your hand
Gently scrub in circular motion on skin -Scrub entire body. Be gentle on, or avoid, sensitive areas.
Be careful stepping out of tub/shower, it may be slippery from the oil.
Pat dry with bath towel, or better yet, let yourself air-dry it will make your skin feel so much more silky.

Remember, only therapeutic-grade essential oils will produce the luxurious and therapeutic effects we all deserve.
