Strawberry Beauty

Yet again, more fun homemade beauty products. Here are a few with some strawberries.
Hand and Foot Exfoliant
- 10 Fresh Strawberries
- 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil (or any essential oil of your choice)
- 1 Teaspoon of Sea Salt (substitute:2 Tablespoons of sugar)
Combine all the ingredients together and gently massage into your hands and feet. Then rinse. The natural acidity of the strawberry helps along the exfoliation.
Strawberry Cream
- 1/2 ounce white beeswax (substitute: Japan wax or synthetic beeswax available)
- 1 1/2 ounces almond oil
- 1 ounce Olive Oil
- 1 ounce strawberry juice or pureed stawberry
- 8 drops benzoin (AromaWeb.com)
Heat both the beeswax and the oils in a double boiler until the wax is completely melted. Rmove it from the heat and add the juice immediately and beat the mixture together until it is fluffy. Add the benzoin and beat until the mixture is completely cooled. Its very important that you beat it until it cools or else it will separate.
