Hello!

Aromatic body scrubs, in my humble opinion, are underrated because they boast an array of wellness benefits when used on a regular basis. Easy to make at home, they can wake up tired muscles and refresh skin complexion.

Here are a few benefits of aromatic body scrubs that may make you consider using them more:

Improved circulation
Decreased body tension
Revitalized muscles
Removal of dead skin cells
Smoother looking complexion
Softer skin that better absorbs moisture

I recently started using a Juniper-Eucalyptus essential oil body scrub and almost forgot how soft and glowing my skin - including hands and feet - feel after application. I also noticed how much more relaxed my tired calves were. Now, I have a little jar next to the shower, so I have an opportunity to use some scrub a few times a week.

The following is an easy recipe you can whip up at home. Bonus: This makes for a Thoughtful and practical little gift, too.

What You’ll Need —

and most of the ingredients you may actually have handy.
Tip: You can also use olive oil instead of castile soap and other carrier oils mentioned.
Other essential oil synergies I currently enjoy:
ORANGE - PEPPERMINT
JUNIPER - EUCALYPTUS
CYPRESS - PINE
LEMON - ROSEMARY

How to Make -

a refreshing body scrub and lovely gift option.

Complement with my L a v e n d e r H a n d + B o d y B u t t e r to nourish (and repair) skin with a faint, natural Lavender aroma that is soothing to both the body and mind.

I hope you enjoy this little DIY and feel inspired to incorporate body scrubs into your shower routine - a little moment of selfcare that can leave a positive impact on your physical well-being in the long run.
