DIY COCONUT + ROSE BODY SCRUB

Few things smell better than coconut and rose so let’s combine them, shall we? In this Kitchen Beautician DIY, we’re making a “Spring Time Scrub” to help you exfoliate and get your skin super soft for the coming summer months. Bathing suit season is just around the corner and nobody wants to be the ashy girl! Here’s my new favorite way to get rid of dry skin caused by winter dryness:

You’ll need: a mason jar, coconut oil, raw cane sugar, almond or jojoba oil and one fragrant rose

(here I

used sterling silver

roses because

they’re my favorite

AND they’re one of the most

fragrant roses ever.)

Use a small mason jar or any clear jar with a lid. I got mine at Smart & Final. You can also buy them online if you can’t find them in the store. These ones are about $11 for a dozen, so they’re under a dollar each!
Start by putting a large scoop of coconut oil in the bottom of the jar. You can get coconut oil at any health food store or major supermarket. It’s an “oil” but at room temp it’s more like a butter consistency and has a white paste-y texture.
Next, pluck your rose petals and put them into the jar on top of the coconut oil.

Add your raw sugar. If you can’t find raw cane sugar, brown sugar is a great option! The coarser the better.

Add your almond or jojoba oil on top of the sugar. I like jojoba oil best, which you can also find at health food stores or vitamin stores, because it’s the closest thing to our own natural oil and it absorbs really nicely into the skin. But almond oil is great too because it doesn’t take away from the scent in this jar.

Wait a minute for your oil to seep down to the flower petals and then top it off with a little more almond or jojoba oil. Last but not least, put your lid on and let it sit so the oils can soak into the flower petals.

When you (or the person you’re giving this to as a gift) are ready to use it, take a spoon and mash it all up. The coarse sugar will break up the rose petals and they’ll continue to break up as you rub the scrub on your skin. The smell is INCREDIBLE, and if you’ve had a hard week (or even if you haven’t) this is a decadent way to start the weekend! This scrub can have a shelf life of one year, but I wouldn’t imagine you’d ever leave this jar of magic sitting for that long.

NOTE: all measurements are subject to the size of your jar. I broke it up into thirds– in other words, everything should be equal parts and each layer should take up 1/3 of the jar.

HOW TO MAKE ALOE VERA FACIAL MASK

Aloe Vera is a miracle plant that is renowned for its use in skin care treatments and homemade remedies. The gel found within the Aloe plant contains high levels of beneficial minerals, vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, and anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory agents. This powerful combination of natural ingredients is what gives Aloe its immense healing abilities.
By using Aloe Vera daily you can help fight against the signs of aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles leaving your skin looking and feeling younger. Aloe Vera is an extremely effective moisturizer making it perfect for the treatment of dry and flaky skin; it relaxes and hydrates the skin while also speeding up the skins natural healing process. It is also a highly effective remedy for the prevention and removal of pimples and can be found as the active ingredient in many over-the-counter acne treatments.
Fresh Aloe Vera Preparation
To start with you will need to collect the outer, older leaves at the base of the Aloe plant. Wash the stalks then slice down the length of the leaves to expose the gel inside. Scrape the clear gel from inside the leaf and strain through muslin cloth to remove the lumps.

If extracting Aloe Vera gel yourself is too much trouble, or if you don’t have access to the Aloe plant, then you can buy some of the gel online. Take a look here for the best priced and highest quality Aloe Vera gel.

Hydrating And Moisturizing Aloe Vera Face Mask
1 tablespoon of powdered seaweed (kelp)
½ tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel
½ tablespoon of honey (preferably raw)
1 capsule of vitamin E
A few drops of essential oils (e.g. Tea tree, lavender or rosemary oil)

Combine all ingredients together and mix well, squeeze out contents of vitamin E capsule and add to mixture. Apply mixture to face, throat, and neck. Leave on for approximately 20-30 minutes. Rinse using warm water.

Seaweed powder helps detoxify the body removing impurities and nourishing the skin by restoring it with essential nutrients. It also stimulates blood circulation leaving your skin with a healthy glow.

Raw honey contains many essential vitamins and minerals that also help replenish any lacking nutrients in the skin.

Altogether, with the medicinal properties of Aloe Vera and the incredible beauty benefits of honey, vitamin E and kelp, makes this one homemade face mask that you should definitely try.
