DIY Orange & Fennel Toner

March 28, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 5 Comments

Fennel seeds & fennel essential oil contain plant oestrogen s& phytohormones that firm and rejuvenate the skin by stimulating the dermal cell metabolism ( sounds good right )  This lovely balancing, rejuvenating fragrant toner is especially beneficial for sluggish, untoned, lined skin whether it be oily or dry. Perfect for us oldies 🙂 Best to use this infusion with 2 – 3 days or freeze in ice – cubes for later use.

YOU WILL NEED

1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds

5 tablespoons boiling water

2 teaspoons orange juice ( freshly squeezed is best )

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Crush the fennel seeds using a mortar & pestle. Cover with boiling water and leave covered for 20 minutes.

2. Strain the infusion, mix with juice and bottle.

keep it in the fridge to prolong it’s shelf life.

    This I have to try. I make my own face scrub from almonds and oatmeal which I grind up. Then just use some cream, scrub my face and I end up with nice soft skin. What would be better than to have a toner that is homemade also. Thanks for the instructions.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
