Almond Scrub Bar

Scrubs come in many forms. Salt, sugar, sisal gloves. This recipe uses almonds for scrubbing and all the good things in cocoa butter and shea butter.

Cream Deodorant

Cream deodorant, my first thought was "what?" And I knew I had to try it.

Lavender Toner

A quick and easy recipe for a lavender toner. Lavender has a calming scent and has anti bacterial properties. It's also effective for acne prone skin, and I just love the smell.

Ingredients
125 ml of water or rose water
lavender buds
one teaspoon of vegetable glycerine
2 drops of lavender essential oil
1 drop of tea tree essential oil
2 drops of sweet orange essential oil

Heat the water or rose water, but don't let it boil. Fill an empty tea bad or tea infuser with the lavender buds and place it in the water for about 15-20 min. Let the water cool down and add the vegetable glycerin and essential oils. You can store the toner a bottle or a spray bottle. 

In this case the mixture turned out a bit purple/pink. I've also seen lavender tea turn greenish, I think it might have to do with the water's temperature.
