Green Clay Face or Foot mask: A mask on the face or feet has been used for centuries to cleanse and tone the skin, as well as being relaxing and rejuvenating. Add 2ml of Jojoba oil to 30 grams of green clay. Then blend in 3 - 6 drops of Essential oils. Then add sufficient water (2 - 4ml) to make a spreadable paste. Leave mask on for 15 - 30 minutes. Lie back and close your eyes. Rinse off with warm water. This recipie can be used with other clays or Atlantea face and Body Wrap.
Facial Massage: Add 6 - 9 drops of Essential Oils to 15ml of face Oil.
Facial Scrub: Mix 5 - 10 grams of our facial scrub with warm water. Stir into a paste and gently massage into the skin. Rinse off with tepid water after a few minutes. For a deeper cleanse leave scrub on longer.
Inhalation & Steam Facials: Inhalation works really well for sinus congestion and respiratory problems. Steam facials are great for opening pores, stimulating blood circulation and hydrating the skin. Add 3 - 6 drops of Essential Oils to a large bowl of warm water. Cover head with a towel and breathe deeply with head over the bowl for 10 minutes. This formula can also be used in a simmer pot on the stove.
Simmer Pot: Use the same formula as for Inhalation only put it in a pot on the stove to simmer. This is a great method to use when the flu virus has invaded your house.
Tea Light Diffusers: Fill the bowl with approx 30ml of distilled water and add 6-9 drops of Essential Oils
