Recipes for Body & Skin Care
Simple ingredients, simple methods
Hand Sanitising Spray
This spray is my go-to recipe when it comes to on-the-go-germ-fighting-fluid-in-a-spray-bottle! Since we stopped frantically killing the germs (good and bad) from our bodies, we're actually much healthier and our hands are less irritated. And it's no wonder; some of...
Magnesium Gel
Magnesium Oil is pretty wonderful and definitely a simpler recipe to make, but when you need to target tense shoulders or restless legs, magnesium gel is definitely easier to apply! I incorporate magnesium into my body care routine, and I also take a powder...
Solid Moisturising Bars
I love the convenience of these bars when I am travelling and don’t want to run the risk of my beautiful DIY butters and balms liquefying in the car. These bars are deeply moisturing for dry skin. They also make gorgeous gifts; you can make them weeks in advance, so...
Deluxe Foaming Face Wash
This recipe is AMAZING! It is delicious, divine, lush. I am officially in love with this combo, and my face is a fan too! The inclusion of rose water is a luxurious ingredient in this recipe (it helps to calm irritation, soothe and hydrate skin) however, it may be out of budget for some.
Charcoal & Turmeric Peelable Face Mask
I was blown away when I looked into the contents of a few mainstream charcoal peelable face masks. With such a simple concept, how on earth can one little bottle pack in so many ingredients, and how can anyone put so many questionable chemicals into a product and feel ok about it?
Creamy Body Wash
If you’re looking for a change from my super-simple foaming body wash or hand wash and want something thicker and creamier, then look no further. This recipe for natural hand and shower wash is seriously amazing. With 5 ingredients, you can’t go wrong!
Whipped Magnesium Cream
Those with low magnesium levels are often prescribed tablets. Research is suggesting that we absorb more magnesium transdermally, hence the growing trend of magnesium oil and cream.
Carb-Free Deodorant Paste
If you’re finding that sodium bicarbonate is irritating your underarms, please don’t give up on natural deodorants! You could either try my Sensitive Deodorant Paste, Spray Deodorant or this bicarb-free version.
Sanitising Gel
We live in a world obsessed with killing germs. I know this so well because I used to be one of ‘those’ people. Not any more though, and we have never been healthier!
Super Salve Healing Balm
This super salve is PERFECT for any area on your body;  face, lips, elbows, bums, ears, feet… It contains nourishing ingredients like coconut oil and Shea butter, and although I like lemon, lavender and melaleuca (tea tree) essential oils, you have permission to exercise your creative muscle and add whatever essential oils you please…
Fizzy Bath Drops
I couldn’t tell you how many variations of this recipe I have tried. Turns out bath bombs are temperamental and delicate little buggers and explode without warning, quite easily… Grrr!! Well, this final product is dead easy to make and will hopefully get you excited about the prospect of giving others a cute little hamper for Christmas/birthdays/party favours, with these beauties inside 🙂
Spray Deodorant with Magnesium
You know you’re onto a winner when your reluctant-to-conform-to-change-rexona-loving-old-school-I’m-gonna-do-it-how-my-mum-did-it husband uses a handmade, natural, and chemical-free deodorant and it WORKS!
