try this:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup salt ( i love body works salt sets)
5 drops of jasmine oil
Mix olive oil and salt in a bowl well. Add jasmine drops to mixture and stir until blended.
I like to use scrubs while in the shower. I wait 5 minutes into the shower until my skin is moist, and then I rub it into dry spots such as my elbows and iknees. I even smear it over my entire body to make it extra smooth. Have fun making the scrub, and try it with different oils for different scents.

I mix brown sugar with a little bit of olive oil and a drop or two of lavender essential oil, and then use it in the shower. Just be careful not to use too much oil because when you get it in the shower it makes the shower really slick. It scrubs and moisturizes at the same time. For another quick scrub that I use on my face like once a week is 1 part water to 3 parts baking soda. Simply rub gently on your face and rinse with warm water. Leaves skin soft and helps to make pores smaller.

Dead Sea salts are great for a scrub. Add enough base oil to hold the grains together and 10-15% essential oils is you like. I keep mine in the shower in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid and use jojoba for the base.

Mix epsom salts with Almond oil, enough to get a thick paste.
Don't make too much at a time, because Almond Oil can get rancid. But it works like a charm and it's inexpensive.

effortless peasy. you ought to use salt or sugar blended with some sort of oil- undeniable olive oil is positive or you ought to objective wheatgerm (wellness food save) that's extremely stable for the exterior, extremely for healing so large for scars/stretchmarks. thats it in fact, yet you may upload some drops of mandatory oil to furnish a great heady scent-in fact something you like. citrus oils are stable for waking you up in the morning. geranium is stable for the exterior, as is rose. there are plenty-bypass and have a sniff, the shop could have a leaflet itemizing the oils and their advantages. **consistently examine the labels on mandatory oils.** oatmeal is likewise a solid exfoliant and can be utilized immediately from the packet (as can sugar and salt) and rubbed into moist epidermis. it releases a milky liquid whilst moist which extremely softens epidermis. of direction you ought to mixture the whichever exfoliant you p.c. into bathe gel, yet that kinda defeats the article. P.S. guacemole is mashed up avocado, it extremely is stable for the exterior yet isn't a scrub

to wake up: a couple of drops of lemon, grapefruit, orange (any citrus oil)
to calm down: rose or lavender
respiratory problems: bergamot
what do you want the oils to do? any medical conditions we should know about, first?
you can also mix your favorite liquid cleanser with salt or sugar.
