DIY Patchouli Hand Oil – Dry Midwinter Hands Will Love You For Using It

August 15, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 2 Comments

Dry midwinter hands will revel in this heavenly scented oil. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Patchouli. Smother your hands in it, leave on for 15 minutes then pat off the excess. Alternatively you could slip your oily hands into some cotton gloves overnight. Use this oil after a softening clay & honey hand mask and your hands will feel a million bucks.

You Will Need

1.5 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon avocado oil

5 drops patchouli essential oil

5 drops rose essential oil

2 drops benzoin essential oil

Then you…………

Combine the ingredients thoroughly and store in a glass bottle out of direct sunlight. Shake well before each use to thoroughly disperse the oils.

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.
