On Saturday I had a spontaneous idea and decided to do a live chat on Instagram showing everyone how to make 3 handmade beauty products using my new Doterra Lemon essential Oil. These would make great Christmas gifts for those women in your life that are just a tad tricky to buy for, OR they would be a super secret Santa present! As requested, here are the recipes!
Natural Deodorant
This one is courtesy of Erana from The Culture of Grace.
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 20-30 drops essential oil
Melt ingredients together. Pour into muffin tin or empty gluestick container. Put in fridge to set.
Lemon Bath Bombs
- 1/3 cup citric acid
- 1/3 cup baking soda
- 3 tablespoons cornflour/corn starch
- 3 tablespoons epsom salts (optional)
- 3 tablespoons coconut or olive oil
- 3-5 drops lemon essential oil
- food colouring
- lemon rind
Mix dry ingredients together. Quickly add wet ingredients, making sure not to make it fizz. Mix in with your hands. Pack tightly into molds (I used DIY bauble cases). Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Lemon Sugar Scrub
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 5 drops lemon essential oil
- food colouring
Whip together with an electric beater. Put into piping bag. Pipe into jar.
Have fun creating!
