I call this one my meal scrub because I used so many different types of meals. This can be used from head to toe which is one of my favorite reasons for making this all the time. I like to make it in bulk as I use this all over.

For normal skin

1 cup ground oatmeal

1/2 cup almond meal

1/2 cup sunflower meal

1 teaspoon ground rosemary leaves

1 teaspoon ground peppermint leaves

1 tablespoon neroli

1/4 teaspoon fresh cinnamon shavings

1/4 cup milk

(1/4 cup heavy cream if you have dry skin)

(1/4 cup distilled water for oily skin)

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the dry ingredients before adding your liquids.

Slowly spoon in your liquids (add the essential oil last). Blend well. Move your products to the storage container. Do not over blend it needs to be in a paste like substance.

This will refrigerate well for 3-4 days.

Application: Apply generously on skin in a circular motion, rinse off.

Murcott is the original name for the Honey Tangerine. The honey tangerine is my favorite as it is a more sweeter tasting and smelling of the Tangerine family. It is also a less harsh on your face and body. If you are not given the opportunity to buy a tangerine then any time of tangerine or orange will suffice.

1/2 cup witch hazel

3 drops of neroli oil

1 cup of fresh Honey Tangerine juice

(if you do not have fresh then 12 drops of tangerine or sweet orange oil will suffice)

Combine ingredients in its storage container and shake well before use.

If you are using fresh juice then please use within 2 weeks. If you are using the essential oils then it will last for up 6 mos.

Application: Take a non bleached cotton pad and apply a light coating on face, and neck. This may also be used on your shoulders and back.

This is for oily skin or those with bad acne. If you have dry or sensitive skin I do not recommend using this on your face. This is to be used as a daily acne deterrent and always follow with a moisturizer. Store in a cool place (we recommend the fridge for extra cooling pleasure!)  in a glass or plastic bottle.

1 1/2 cup distilled water

1 1/2 table spoons yarrow

1 tablespoon chamomile flowers

1 teaspoon calendula

8 drops peppermint oil

In a small size saucepan bring your distilled just to the point before boil. Remove the water from the heat and add the herbs. Allow them to steep for 20 minutes, once that time has passed you then add the essential oils. Then you pour the concoction into a glass jar or plastic container and shake well.

This will only last for a week. But if you are using it twice a day generously applied then you should run out at the end of the week so as you are not tempted to use stale ingredients.

Apply generously with a non bleached (if possible) cotton pad around face and neck. May be used on shoulder and back areas as well. Place cucumber slices over your eyes as to not get the astringent in your eye.

5 teaspoons green tea leaves

1 drop peppermint oil

4 oz distilled water

1 teaspoon aloe vera gel (optional)

1/4 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

The reason why the gel and juice are optional, is that you should choose which one you’d prefer to work with. Lemon is a natural astringent but can irritate some skin types. The same goes for the softer aloe vera but it does have cooling effects some like.

Mix together and place in a glass jar or a spritzer bottle.  Gently spritz on face, or take a cotton ball and dip and rub gently over face and neck.

Recommended to be refrigerated for further cooling effects.

1/4 cup chamomile tea (brewed and cooled to room temp)

1/4 cup oatmeal (lightly ground)

2 tablespoons honey

2 drops of almond oil

Combine the ingredients.  Rub over face and neck gently but still with enough pressure to exfoliate the skin.

For deep cleansing leave the scrub on to create a mask, or you can wash off with warm water and pat dry. Moisturize if desired.

1/2 cup boiling water

1/2 cup cranberries.
