Beauty on a budget: get glam with a few simple ingredients.
It’s so hard to find products that work, let alone any that are worth trying again. Be the envy of your friends with this trio of indulgent, self-care confections that will give you a day at the spa on a dime, all without having to leave the comfort of your own home.
Make a light and airy scrub that exfoliates with a refreshing punch:
In a small bowl, pour 1/4 cup of coconut oil and microwave it for 20 seconds, until melted. In a separate mixing bowl, pour a cup of sugar and mix with the coconut oil. Add two drops of preferred food coloring, followed by 5-8 drops of a scented essential oil. You can pack the scrub into a cute canning jar for keeps.
Try this simple body butter to rehydrate dry skin:
Melt pure cocoa butter and coconut oil together in a double boiler, then refrigerate for 5 minutes until cool. Use a mixer to whip the cream until it’s fluffy like frosting. Add 4 drops of a scented essential oil, and 2 drops of preferred food coloring.
Climb the stairway to heaven with a relaxing foot soak:
Mix 1 cup of Epsom salts with a half cup of sea salt, 5 drops of an essential oil and 1/2 cup of baking soda. With a fork, break apart the clumps until finely disintegrated.
