There’s nothing better than a little pampering this time of year, whether it’s for yourself or as a gift to someone else! In this post I share a few of my favorite homemade body care treats. These make fun and useful DIY gifts for the holiday season!
Lip Balm
5 Tbls Coconut Oil (available here)
3 Tbls Beeswax pellets
12 drops Essential Oil (Lavender, Peppermint or Cinnamon) – (If you are interested in purchasing any of these oils, click this link HERE.)
Prepare 8, 0.5 ounce steel tins, like these from Amazon, by removing lids.
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, combine coconut oil and beeswax. Stir constantly until beeswax melts. Stir in essential oil and immediately transfer to glass Pyrex measuring cup like this one. Pour mixture into steel tins. Allow to cool and harden before screwing on cap.
EO Scents
10 ml Sweet Almond Oil or Fractionated Coconut Oil (available here)
2 drops Copaiba Essential Oil – (If you are interested in purchasing either of these oils, click this link HERE.)
2 drops Stress Away Essential Oil
Add oil to 10 ml Roll-on bottles, like these from Amazon, add essential oils, screw on cap and shake.
Magnesium Bath Salts
1 1/2 cups Magnesium Flakes (buy them here)
1 cup Epsom Salts (order them here)
15 drops Stress Away Essential Oil – (If you are interested in purchasing this oil, click this link HERE.)
Combine all ingredients in large bowl and mix well. Transfer to 3, 4 oz. mason jars like these.
Use one jar per bath.
I love craft paper tags like these and stickers like these to complete the project;-)
