Natural beauty products are great to give as gifts, sell, or to even use yourself. The best part is that you know what went into them and what works best with your skin.
== Steps ==
=== Body Butter ===
# Gather all your materials. You will need;1/3 cup Coconut Oil, 1/3 cup Raw Shea Butter, 2 tbsp Almond Oil, a small saucepan, a bowl, and an electric mixer. If you want, you can use some essential oils for fragrance.
# In the small saucepan, melt the oils together.
# Carefully pour the oils into the bowl. You can chill the bowl beforehand, but it is not crucial.
# Leave the bowl out to harden. You can throw it in the fridge to speed up the process, but make sure it doesn't get too hard. It needs to be firm, but not solid (roughly the consistency of softened butter).
# When the oil is ready, whip it for several minutes, until it is light, fluffy and has increased in volume. This recipe makes a little over a cup of body butter.
=== Moisturizer ===
# Gather your materials. You will need; 2 cups Coconut Oil, 1/2 cup Olive Oil, and an electric mixer. You can use essential oils for fragrance, but it isn't necessary.
# Warm the coconut oil in the microwave, just 10 seconds at a time until it goes from a solid to liquid.
# Add the oil to the mixing bowl with the olive oil (if you are adding essential oils, add 15-20 drops), and start it on the lowest setting, so it won't go everywhere. When the oils are mixed and start to cool, turn up the speed a couple notches. Mix until it is the consistency of moisturizer.
=== Bath Soaks ===
# You can make many different kinds of bath soaks, so experiment with combinations. You can add essential oils, zest, dried flowers, or even tea. Lemon and lavender, and green tea and peppermint are some good combinations to try.
# Gather your materials. You will need; 3/4 cup Epsom Salt, 1 tbsp Pink Himalayan Salt (or finely ground sea salt), a bowl, a spoon, and any combinations of scents. If you are adding tea, add 3/4 tbsp of loose tea (or 2-3 tea bags). If you are adding essential oils, add 4-6 drops. If you are adding dried flowers, add 1 tbsp. If adding zest, judge it as best as you can.
# Add everything together.
=== Sugar Scrub ===
# Gather your materials. You will need; 2 1/4 cups Brown Sugar or White Sugar, 1/2 cup Olive Oil, 1/4 cup Honey, a bowl, a spoon, and you can add 1 tsp of vanilla essence and/or 1/4 tsp of cinnamon if you want it to smell nice.
# Mix all the ingredients together.
=== Shaving Cream ===
# Gather your materials. You will need; 1/3 cup Shea Butter, 1/3 cup Coconut Oil, 1/4 cup Almond Oil, a small saucepan, a bowl, a spoon, an electric mixer, and you can add any essential oils for fragrance if you like.
# In the small sauce pan, combine the coconut oil and shea butter, stirring until just melted.
# Carefully pour into a bowl, and add the almond oil and essential oils (if you'd like to). Stir to mix.
# Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill until solid.
# Remove from the refrigerator and whip until light and fluffy.
=== Foot Soak ===
# Gather your materials. You will need; 1 cup Epsom Salt, 1/8 cup Baking Soda, 2 teabags of any tea of your choosing, a bowl, and a spoon.
# Mix all together.
