Being a 'mixer' of all things natural I like to dabble with my kitchen products in my bathroom. There is nothing I enjoy more than creating my own beauty products from natural everyday items, it really is so easy and often much cheaper then store bought beauty products. Not having all those yucky additives is just a bonus!
One of my favourites is Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (EVCO). I use it to make Body Scrubs, Hair Masks, Baths or even just a beautiful moisturiser. I use it every day - it is 100% natural and smells divine - almost like our Lemon Canary Toucan Candle.. mmmm..
You can pick up some EVCO at you local health food store or in the Organic section at some supermarkets.
Here are some ideas on how to use it..
1. Use a little bit as a moisturiser on your face after a shower.
2. Before you hop into the shower put some in a little bowl with some sea salt or brown/raw sugar use a washcloth and rub it all over for a divine natural exfoliant.
3. Apply on legs after a shower - just be sure to wipe the excess off with a towel - please make sure the oil is soaked in so you don't get it on sheets or clothes. (Please note - oils & silks don't mix).
4. Use a mixture of coconut oil & salt/sugar scrub for dry cracked heels and rub with a pumice stone.
5. Massage Coconut Oil into scalp, leave for 10 minutes with warm towel (I sometimes do this while sitting in the bath) then shampoo hair out well afterwards.
This is just to get you started, Enjoy my beautiful people
