At-home spa treatments are inexpensive and a great gift you give your girlfriends! If you are looking for a great DIY bridesmaid gift or looking for an expensive treatment to do at home these two DIY scrub recipes will have you looking a feeling great on your wedding day!
I love the lip scrub recipe because its a gentle, all-natural exfoliator and you can use it a few times a week to get totally kissable lips! Perfect for beautiful wedding day lips! The foot scrub exfoliates and will have your feet beautifully protected and ready for a little R&R 😉
Honey Lip Scrub
Ingredients:
- 3 teaspoons of jojoba oil
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 3 tablespoons of cane sugar
- Vanilla (optional)
Why it works: The sugar exfoliates, and the honey sweetens and soften lips. It also acts as a natural humectant, helping you skin retain moisture. The jojoba moisturizes and protects. Apply to lips and let sit for about 10 minutes. Scrub your lips gently when your removing and follow with a lip butter.
Rosemary Foot Scrub
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Epsom salt
- 1 cup of sea salt, table grade
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- Zest of a lime
- Juice of a lime
- 3/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1/4-1/2 cup of canola oil, enough to allow NutriBullet or blender to whip
- 4-6 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- Essential oil of peppermint
Directions: Mix sea salt and Epsom salt. Add lime zest, stir and pour into NutriBullet or blender. Add coconut oil, canola oil, lime juice and rosemary sprigs. Mix for 60-90 seconds. Pour into a bowl and add baking soda. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. Add peppermint essential oil and mix. Store the scrub in a jar and use within a few weeks of making.
Why it works: The sea salt exfoliates, the baking soda deodorizes and the lime acts as an anti-bacterial agent. The coconut oil moisturizes, the peppermint reduces pain, and the sprigs of fresh rosemary add a natural fragrance.
