Lemon Drop Body Scrub

Makes 3-4 applications
  • 1/2 cup organic lemon juice
  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 2 Tablespoons sweet organic almond oil
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable glycerine
  • 2 cups unbleached organic sugar
Combine lemon juice, honey, sweet almond oil and vegetable glycerine in a large bowl. Slowly add sugar and stir to combine all of the ingredients. If too runny, add more sugar to soak up the excess liquid. Store in container with lid for up to one month. To use: Scoop a handful of scrub and massage all over body, paying special attention to dry areas. This scrub is gentle enough to use on your face. Be sure to avoid under eye area and use finger tips to gently massage the face and neck. Rinse off with damp cloth or in the shower.

Chocolate Cherry Moisturizing Body Gel


-Slightly modified.  Remember to use high quality organic ingredients.

Makes 3-4 cups
  • 1 cup purified water
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup vegetable glycerine
  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 3 Tablespoons cherry juice
  • 3 Tablespoons organic lavender floral water
  • 3 Tablespoons organic vanilla extract
Combine all ingredients in a large microwave safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave the ingredients for 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to give a few stirs. Your final product should be a translucent, fragrant, and lightly moisturizing gel. If the gel becomes too thick, add a few teaspoons of water until the desired consistency is achieved. Store in covered container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To Use: Thoroughly work into clean, dry skin. Allow to dry completely before dressing. *Try adding a few tablespoons of aloe Vera gel to create a creamy, after sun skin soother.
