DIY Body Scrub: Coconut Oil + Himalayan Sea Salt
A great way to maintain smooth and radiant skin is by using coconut oil (cold-pressed, pure, unrefined with no additives) & pink Himalayan sea salt (fine grain) to make face and body scrub. Simply melt your coconut oil and mix it with your salt using a 2:1 oil to salt ratio in a glass bowl. I like to add a couple drops of my favorite essential oils to my scrubs (tea tree for face, and lavender for body). Make extra & keep it fresh in an airtight glass jar. Key for a healthy glow!
Natural Crystal Deodorant
Traditional deodorants use chemical rich fragrances to mask odor and cover up the bad bacteria smell. Antiperspirants block the skin from releasing sweat, thereby inhibiting the bacteria growth process. Natural crystal deodorants have no added chemicals or fragrances, and they allow the body to sweat naturally without odor.
Natural Crystal Deodorants are made of potassium alum-a natural antimicrobial that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. As an anti-microbial potassium alum adjusts the pH of the skin's surface and creates an environment where bacteria cannot grow. Therefore, odor is prevented, and the body is able to maintain its proper course of eliminating toxins through sweat, as well as controlling body temperature, all without odor.
