Lady G;1895045; said:I love orange!! I like to mix orange, lemon, grapefruit and lemon grass with the almond or Borage oil for my body...its great!!! For my face it is usually rose, jasmine or geranium, with carrot oil, chamomile and or lavender. But I use the primerose, hazelnut or sesame seed oil for my face. I just stand in the shower and rub the salt everywhere then turn the shower on and rinse it, then before I get out I put the oil on.
It smells very strong in the bottle, but for the mix you only use a few drops, and can use more or less depending on how rich you want the smell. If you make a mix with 1 cup sea salt, 1/2 cup or less of almond oil, and 5-6 drops of your scent oil, it will not be over powering at all. Its really easy to adjust the ingredients too, you can play with them to make it a thick scrub, or thinner depending on your particular use for it at the time.easydoesit;1895072; said:hmmm maybe i should get some of that oil.. a lot of them that ive smelled were too strong for my liking though.
Yes, lavender is a very good essential oil. Did you know peppermint oil (the essential oil) can make ants go away! LMAO, completely off subject there but it does. I don't use "scented oil" I buy the actual essential oil, it is 100% extract, also if you us bergamont in anything for your skin be careful in the sun!water_baby83;1895173; said:OMG!!! Orange blossom is like my favorite smell in the world!!! LOL
And carrot oil is soooooooooo good for your skin, packed with Vit-A! I use that too. Haven't got too creative with mixing the scent oils - simply because I prefer a soft smell on my skin instead of a strong one, and I dunno, havent been that brave, LOL. Did you know that lavender is AMAZING for burns also?? And for cuts!
If I ever burn myself (which I do often when cooking, lol) I never ever use burn creams, just apply lavender oil every few hours for the first day, and it totally takes the pain away, and draws the fluid out of the burn so you never get blisters. I love natural products, and it amazes me how so few women actually know about these!!
ROTFLMAO!!!! OMG, that is tooooo funny!!!navygirl76;1895958; said:thats why you use sugar or salt scrubs. btw im watching the news right now and some lady is trying to sue victoria's secrets-a thong cut her eye! lol.. im not kidding. she said she was trying on thongs (god, who tries those on in the store?
