Brown Sugar Scrub, Oatmeal Mask

I found these recipes some time ago - I wanted a hair treatment, so I pulled these back out and thought I'd share.  I've tried all three and they are all very very nice! Give it a try!

Brown Sugar Scrub (Can be used for full body exfoliation or for hands and feet)

½ cup Brown Sugar

2 heaping Tablespoons of fractionated coconut oil (Almond or Olive Oil can be substituted)

3 to 5 drops of your favorite essential oil
Mix well. To apply wet skin and massage gently, rinse with warm water and apply favorite moisturizer

Peppermint Hot Oil Hair Treatment (Stimulating & Refreshing to scalp, deeply moisturizing for hair)

½ - 1 cup Olive Oil (amount can be adjusted depending on length of hair)

5-6 drops of Peppermint essential oil
Gently warm Olive oil by putting it in a glass cup or jar in a pot of hot water; once the olive oil is warm add the essential oil and apply immediately to scalp and massage the remaining amount through entire hair. Cover with a shower cap to hold in the heat. Allow to sit for up to 20 minutes, to finish shampoo & condition hair.

Oatmeal/Yogurt Facial Masque (Good for all Skin Types, nourishing and moisturizing)

1 Tbsp Oatmeal

1 Tbsp plain organic yogurt (skip all the pre-sweetened types)

A few drops of warm honey
Mix all the ingredients together and gently apply to face. Leave on for 15 minutes, rinse with steaming washcloth and apply favorite moisturizer.
