Shea Body Butter
Paola Parsons' at-home version blends shea butter, coconut oil, and fragrant essential oils. The recipe will leave you with almost a pint, which you can lather all over your arms and legs.
Lemon, Thyme, and Salt Body Scrub
Salt is a natural exfoliant you already have in your house. Mix it with fragrant thyme, almond oil, and lemon zest for your new go-to body rub.
Chocolate Oatmeal Face Mask
Leave this (it also includes cream and honey) on your face for 20 minutes for a take on a fun chocolate facial you'll find in some spas.
Cuticle Cream
If you're an avid gardener or spend your evenings washing dishes, your nails might be in need of a little TLC. Rub this on your cuticles for an extra bit of moisture. Gimme Some Oven blogger Ali suggests storing the cream in the fridge so it stays cool and fresh.
Herbal Foot Soak
Nothing beats a long pedi-bath after hours on your feet. This herbal-rich mix uses the soothing power of Epsom salt and essential oils. Once the mixture is complete, drop a few spoonfuls into warm water and enjoy.
Rose Milk Bath
Few things are more relaxing than an evening bath. Drop some of this homemade concoction (full of Epsom salt and soothing rose petals) into your tub for a night of pampering.
Sugar Lip Scrub
Using four natural ingredients, this exfoliating scrub is great for lips. Simply spread the mixture on your lips, rub them together, and rinse off. For extra protection, top them off with your favorite SPF chapstick.
Hand Lotion
Coconut oil is everywhere, and this organic, moisturizing mix is no exception. Add your favorite scent (you don't need to follow Elizabeth Morrow's tutorial exactly) for your very own one-of-a-kind solution.
Coffee Mud Mask
After you mix coffee, clay, and apple cider vinegar together, let the blend dry on your face for 10 minutes. After you rinse off the mask, smooth on your favorite SPF moisturizer so your skin doesn't get too dry.
