ℋerbal Twist Single-Use Salt Scrub Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• ¾ cup salt
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 drops tea tree essential oil
• 1 tbsp loose leaf green tea
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 glass bowl

DIRECTIONS:

• Brew up a cup of green tea with the loose leaves. Drink and enjoy! Set the leftover leaves aside to steep.
• Pour sugar into the glass bowl.
• Add olive oil and tea tree oil, stir carefully.
• Scoop tea leaves into the mixture, stir until they’re evenly spread throughout.
• Slice a lemon in half, squeeze some juice onto the blend, stir it in.
• Use scrub soon after blend is finished.

This is the sister blend to Pekoe Pamper, and the harsher of the two. Its main function is to reduce redness and uneven skin coloration (that’s the lemon juice’s job!), and to give a smoother complexion. This recipe is only good for one use, because the tea leaves are highly perishable. Perfect for tea lovers and those who seek splotchless skin! ❈

ℒavender Soother Single-Use Sugar Scrub Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 3 drops lavender essential oil
• 3 crushed green grapes
• 1 dollop of honey
• 1 glass bowl

DIRECTIONS:

• Pick out 3 ripe green grapes, crush them on a plate with the flat of a knife, chop up the skins. Set aside.
• Pour sugar into bowl.
• Add oils, mix into sugar slowly.
• Scrape the grapes in there, juices and all.
• Squeeze a dollop of honey on top. Mix it all together.
• Use scrub soon after blend is finished.

This is another remedial blend. The lavender scent is inherently soothing, and the grapes are added to reduce wrinkles and give you smoother skin. The recipe itself is intended for only one use, so if you plan on using this often, you’ll have to make a fresh batch of it each time. Perfect for those who need to de-stress and relax! ❦

ℳinty Martini Salt Scrub Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup of salt
• ½ cup of virgin olive oil
• 3 mint leaves
• 1 tight-capped glass jar

DIRECTIONS:

• Prepare mint leaves with a blender or mortar & pestle. Grind until it reaches an even consistency. Set aside.
• Pour salt into jar.
• Add olive oil to salt, mix slowly.
• Stir in the mint leaves.
• Seal jar & store at room temperature until use.

This one is for those whose skin isn’t easily irritated. It’s one of my more hardy blends, but it doesn’t last as long as my sugar scrub due to the addition of the mint. If you’re worried about it going bad, you can substitute the leaves for 1-2 tsp of spearmint extract, otherwise it will only keep for about 1 month. Perfect for those who seek a little zest in their skincare routines. ✿
