Apple Crisp Body Scrub




Source of Recipe


From "Making Aromatherapy Creams & Lotions" by Donna Maria






List of Ingredients



• 5 Tbsp whipping cream
  
• 1 Tbsp honey
  
• 3 Tbsp freshly juiced apple juice
  
• 4 Tbsp tapioca pearls
  
• 2 Tbsp whole rolled oats, lightly crushed
  
• 1 cup Epsom salts, or coarse sea salt
  
• 1 drop rose essential oil
  
• 1 drop neroli essential oil
  
• 2 drops palmarosa essential oil
  
• 2 drops lemon peel essential oil
  






Instructions



1. Warm whipping cream in microwave for about 15 seconds.
   Add honey and apple juice; stir to combine. Add tapioca and oats, then stir. Add salts and stir well. Add essential oils and stir. "Age" in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before using.
   
   To Use:
   Stand naked in a dry bathtub and scoop some of the mixture in your palms. Beginning with your extremities, gently scrub your skin in circular motions, moving up your leg to your thigh, and from your hands to your shoulders. If you have a helper to scrub your back, all the better!
   
   Rinse off and pat dry with a towel.
   






Final Comments


If you prefer not to microwave, you can gently warm the whipping cream over a very low heat source. Watch it carefully to avoid scalding. Remove when hot and continue with recipe, as outlined.
