Here is another reason I'm in love with my doTERRA oils!
The endless opportunities to simplify my personal care products with natural...'no nasties'... essential oils based DIY alternatives.
So I tread carefully and slowly when it comes to changing anything in my routine.
Last week I grew tired of adding a drop of Frankincense to each application of face cream...it felt messy and more time consuming than it needed to be....so I created a little ready made pot.
The Frankincense has been amazing for my skin.... I doubt its ever felt as soft and healthy.. fine lines? (I'm hopeful)
DIY RECIPES /HACKS
Face Cream-
I decanted my usual facecream (la-roche-posay) into a salve jar. For each loaded teaspoon I added a drop of Frankincense and then when it was full I mixed it well.
Body Cream -
The same mix as above but with a blend of oils for the fragrance. I used Balance but Citrus Bliss will be my next batch for sure.
Toothpaste-
5 tablespoons of baking soda
1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 teaspoons Xylitol
1 - 4 drops of Peppermint EO
1-4 drops of Oregano EO
Melt the coconut oil and add the other ingredients ... mix until you have a smooth paste. Spoon into a jar and label.
(I halved the recipe as a tester and it does clean nicely. I am not a huge fan of the flavour but perhaps should add more peppermint. Being prone to sensitivity I'm cautious about how Ill go long term...so Ill report back on that one.)
I purchased the little salve jars online .... ( as well as rollerbottles..spray bottles and foaming bottles)
There are a few places that stock them but these were the ones recommended to me...
Aroma Tools
Aroma Bottles
Centaur Packaging
