DIY body care recipes
It’s so important for us to pay attention to everything we are absorbing into our bodies. We discuss common toxins present in many body products in our Pamper Yourself Workshop so please come along and learn for yourself how to tell what’s ok and what’s not! I make a lot of my own products, I buy many of doTERRA’s ready made products (shampoo, conditioner, face mask, spa range, skin care range etc!) and I know what to look out for in other body products – and I can help you too! Here are some of my favourite DIY recipes below…
My top 5 DIY body care recipes
1. Make up remover
2. Lavender & Wild Orange Bath Bombs
- 100g bicarb soda
- 40g citric acid
- 10 drops Lavender
- 5 drops Wild Orange
- 10-15ml fractionated coconut oil
- silicone moulds
- optional: dried lavender buds
- Whisk together bicarb soda and citric acid until well combined
- Add 10ml fractionated coconut oil, essential oils and optional lavender buds – whisk again until combined
- If necessary add additional fractionated coconut oil to help mixture stick together
- Push mixture firmly into silicone moulds
- Leave to dry in a cool, dry area overnight, up to 24 hours
- Once completely dry, remove from moulds and store in a glass, sealed jar
3. Ginger & Lime Foot Scrub
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (gently melted if during cooler months/areas)
- 2 drops Ginger essential oil
- 5 drops Lime essential oil
- Combine all ingredients – that’s it!
- Can be stored in a glass jar and given as a gorgeous gift. If so, use a different carrier oil that will not set hard
4. Mouthwash
