Astringent

1/4 cup Witch Hazel (I also like to mix in a little rose water)
1 teaspoon glycerine
2 teaspoons aloe gel
5 drops Lavender EO
3 drops Roman Chamomile EO
5 drops Sweet Orange EO
2 drops Geranium EO

Argan Oil Body Butter

Argan Oil – 6 Tbsps
Shea Butter – 8 Tbsp
Essential Oil of your Choice – 8 – 10 drops
Cornstarch – 1 Tsp


Add Shea butter to a mixing bowl and whip it using a hand blender
Now, add Argan oil and essential oil and blend again.
Add corn starch and blend till there are no lumps and the butter is blended evenly.
Now, transfer the Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter to the sanitized jar and use it whenever you need it.

Body Moisturizing Spray

1/4 cup distilled or filtered water
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vegetable glycerine
1 teaspoon sweet almond oil
5 drops Vitamin E oil
8-10 drops of essential oils of your choice (or leave out for fragrance free)

Combine all ingredients and pour into a small spray bottle.  Shake well before each use. 

Vanilla Cinnamon Latte Body Scrub

Ingredients
1/4 cup Coconut Oil
1/2 cup  Coconut Sugar or Honey
1/2 cup coffee, ground (I made mine with used coffee grounds that I dried out)
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 drops cinnamon essential oil

1.  In a double boiler over low heat, gently warm the coconut oil. Be careful not to melt the oil – heat just enough to blend easily with the sugar (or honey) and coffee grounds. Once warm, remove from heat and transfer the oil to a bowl.
2. Add the coconut sugar, coffee grounds, vanilla, and cinnamon essential oil. Stir by hand until all of the ingredients are well blended.
Yields 8oz. Transfer to a container, like a wide-mouth canning jar for easy scooping.
To Use: Activate the scrub by scooping a small amount into the palm of your hand, add a bit of water and then gently exfoliate your skin. Use with caution as the coconut oil might make the tub slippery.
