A bit of distraction - I made Chocolate and Rose Soap this weekend!

Hello,

As you may know I make and sell natural skincare products (YouOrganic Skincare)  Using the traditional Cold Press Method I made Chocolate and Rose Soap this weekend, just in time for Valentines!  The ingredients include Organic Cocoa, Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Almond Oil and Rose Buds.  Chocolate is very hydrating for the skin and coconut and almond oil are nourishing and moisturizing on the skin.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Rose is considered good for the complexion.

DIY Natural Body Scrub Tutorial

This incredibly simple body scrub is so easy to make in just 3 steps and is the most effective scrub I 've every used!

Tip: Rub the scrub thoroughly onto dry skin and then rinse off in the shower.

You will need:

Brown Sugar

White Sugar

Sweet Almond Oil

Orange Essential Oil (or the essential oil of your choice)

Step 1. Put 1 x cup of Brown Sugar and 1 x cup of White Sugar into a bowl

Step 2. Add enough Sweet Almond Oil until it starts to look like a paste

Step 3. Add 10 drops of Orange Essential Oil, or other oils like Lavender, Rosemary, Geranium, whichever is your favorite! 

Make sure you use pure essential oils, you can find these in you local health shop.  Don't use fragrance oils as these will irritate your skin and don't squeeze fresh juice into your mixture as this will make your scrub go rancid very quickly.  

Put the scrub in a nice jar and give it as a gift!
