Supple Citrus Hand And Foot Scrub Recipes

HOMEMADE SWEET AND SOUR MIX

Steps:

• Mix all together.
• Store in the refrigerator.

MOISTURIZING KITCHEN HAND SCRUB

Steps:

• Mix sugar, olive oil, salt, lemon zest, and lemon extract together in a bowl until blended. Spoon into a 1-pint jar; tighten the lid.

HOLIDAY COOLING FOOT SCRUB

Steps:

• Fill 8-8 ounce jars with salt top with oil and 4-6 drops of each oil in each jar.
• Using a knife to cut through the salt so the oil goes throughtout.

HAND AND/OR FOOT SCRUB

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a plastic container.
• Stir before using.
• Put a generous spoonful of this on dry, not wet hands.
• Rub hand together as if you were rubbing in hand lotion for about 30-45 seconds.
• Rinse with warm water.
• Your hands will feel sooooooo soft.
• This is also great on feet, elbows and knees.
• This makes a great stocking stuffer.

LOTION FOR DRY SKIN

Steps:

• Pour everything into a large bowl and mix with electric mixer until smooth. Pour into lotion pump bottles.
• I guess you could add essential oils if the "baby smell" is not to your liking.

NATURAL FRUIT TREE BUG REPELLENT

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in an empty gallon-sized jug with the top cut off.
• Hang one solution in each of your fruit bearing trees - works at its best if you begin the treatments before the trees blossom.
• Continue to use the treatment until the end of the fruit bearing season, replacing as often as neccesary.
• (rain water will dilute the solution, and lots of bug will too - check it every few days).

BASIC COLD CREAM

Steps:

• Dissolve borax in water in a microwave safe cup.
• Mix oil and beeswax in a microwave safe bowl and cook on med/high heat for several minutes, stirring every minute, until beeswax is melted.
• (you can also heat in a double boiler till melted) Remove from heat or microwave.
• When wax is melted bring the borax and water almost to boil in the microwave on high for about a minute.
• Slowly add the borax to the oil, stirring briskly.
• Add lavenderor rosewater, if using.
• I like to add lavender because it helps to regenerate the skin, is a natural antibiotic, and has a calming effect.
• Pour this cream into a container with a lid.
• This mixture will last virtually forever.
• To use, massage a small amount into your skin and then tissue off.
• This mixture is white and fluffy and will thicken as it cools.
• Note: For a lighter cream, put in in the blender after it has cooled and blend on high, adding 1 T water at a time.
• If you end up with excess water do not worry- just strain it off your"fluffed up" cream.

SUPPLE CITRUS HAND AND FOOT SCRUB

Steps:

• Mix the sugar, oil, and oil of your choice in a small bowl.
• Squeeze the lemon or lime juice into the mixture just before you are ready to use. Citrus, if left too long, will melt the sugar crystals.
• Stir, then rub mixture onto hands and feet, paying close attention to dry spots.
• Rinse, then follow with a moisturizer. Enjoy!
