Home Made All Natural Beauty Treatments

We could all use a bit of spring rejuvenation and at this time of year. After we are done running around getting the yard in shape for the Spring and Summers months and all of that Spring Cleaning, it would be nice to take some time out and create something just for you. Or spread the happiness and create one of these recipes to give as a gift.  Enjoy!

1 ) Lavender Hand and Foot Wash:

Use this wash to relieve red and inflamed hands and feet.

• 1/2 cup dried Lavender Flowers
• 1/2 cup finely chopped Fresh Sage
• 2 cups of water
• 8 drops of Lavender Oil

     In a saucepan, combine lavender flowers, sage and water. Simmer, covered, on low heat for 20 minutes. Strain mixture through cheesecloth and let cool. Discard the solids, retain the liquid. Add Lavender Oil, shake to emulsify, and then apply to hands and feet with a soft wash cloth or cotton pads. Repeat as necessary, or desired.




2) Refreshing Orange Scrub for Face and Body:

• 1/2 of an Orange
• 4 T Cornmeal

To Make:  Squeeze orange juice and pulp into a bowl and add the cornmeal. Mix into a paste.

To Use:  Apply onto freshly washed face and body. Scrub gently for 2-3 minutes. Rinse, tone, moisturize.

3) Coffee Body Scrub:

• 3 T Coffee grounds (organic-caffeinated)
• 1 T Salt (optional)

To Make:  Brew a fresh pot of coffee. Enjoy a cup, if you like. Put grounds (and salt) in a small bowl. Use grounds within 20 minutes of brewing before oxidation occurs.

To Use:  Scrub mixture over entire body while in the shower. Rinse. Tone. Moisturize.
