Here are some ideas....
- Bath soaks: For a soothing bath, add 20-25 drops of pure tea tree oil to the water. Baking soda can soften hard water and makes a relaxing bath time soak.
- Dry skin exfoliating: After bathing and while still wet, give yourself a massage with dry salt. It removes dead skin particles and aids the circulation.
- Eye Puffiness: Mix one teaspoon of salt in 1 pint of hot water and apply pads soaked in the solution on the puffy areas.
- Cellulite: Because juniper promotes circulation and the dissolving of fat, it can be used to treat cellulite effectively. Mix 20 to 30 drops of juniper essential oil with 4 oz olive oil and use to massage areas where cellulite is an issue.
- Hair buildup: After shampooing, rinse your hair with a mixture of 1/2 vinegar, 1/2 warm water to remove all the build up and brighten hair.
- Facial scrub: Mix equal parts of salt and olive oil and gently massage the face and neck with long upward and inward strokes. Remove mixture after 5 minutes and wash face.
Before spending $20 on that facial scrub or hundreds on the newest product to reduce eye puffiness, consider hitting the grocery store for some ordinary, run-of-the-mill salt and olive oil. Try it!
