Cleansing Scalp Scrub
Not to go into too much detail on a recipe site dedicated mostly to delicious food, but my scalp really bothers me. I was excited to stumble on this recipe for a DIY sugar-based scalp scrub that helps remove build-up and soothes the itchies.
Happy Spray
This is actually a recipe for yoga mat cleaner, but the original instructions said it could also be used as a room spray. We started using a spritz or two of “happy spray” in the air in Leo’s bedroom whenever he had trouble falling asleep, and now it’s part of his bedtime ritual. You’d usually opt for something less energizing than ginger at night, but the happy factor can’t be beat.
Jamy’s Exfoliating Sea Salt Scrub
At this year’s book club holiday party, Jamy gave everyone a jar of this salt scrub, scented either with grapefruit or lavender.
Orange-Scented Bath Oil
This three-ingredient bath oil includes my favorite scent, orange.
Bath Oil for Dehydrated Skin
Chamomile, lavender, and clary sage essential oils sooth the skin and help it absorb moisture. Add this to a bath for healthier skin.
Oatmeal-Rose Facial Mask
Your face feels wonderful after using this mask of shredded rose petals, oats, honey and rose water, but wearing it is pretty messy. Get comfortable in a bubble bath before putting it on, and rinse it off before you get out.
Egyptian Facial Mask
Your face feels so clean and fresh after using this mask made of common kitchen staples.
