Mix in a blender until smooth. Massage into hair and leave on for 10
minutes. Rinse as usual. Use this mask monthly during peak swimming
season.
Sea Salt Body Scrub
Mix together 3 Tablespoons fine sea salt and 6 drops grapefruit or
lemon essential oil. Get in the shower and rub the mixture briskly all
over your body. Then rinse well. The sea salt exfoliates and the oils
cleanse and detoxify the skin.
Hot Paraffin Dip for Hands and Feet
This popular spa treatment will leave your hands and feet feeling
incredibly soft!
1 cup quality beeswax or paraffin
10 Tablespoons sweet almond oil
8 Tablespoons virgin olive oil
5 drops lavender oil
3 drops chamomile oil
Melt the wax in a crock pot on low heat. Do not use medium or high
because wax will burst into flame if it gets too hot. When the wax is
melted, add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Pour the wax into a pan
large enough for your hand or foot. A turkey roasting pan works
nicely. Make sure the wax is not too hot. You can check it with a candy
thermometer. 91 to 98 degrees is just right.
Dip one hand or foot in at a time until it is completely covered by the
wax. Take your hand out of the wax and wait about 8 minutes for the
wax to set up. Peel the wax off.
Don't throw the wax away! You can reuse it several times. Just remelt
it. If the formula gets too dry or loses its scent, just add a little
more oil.
