Simply Natural Nessa

This balm contains rich oils and herbs to create a soothing cream that can help in relieving inflammation, pain, dry skin, itchiness, and encourage healing. RECIPE: 🍃 1/2 cup calendula infused oil 🍃 1/4 cup coconut oil 🍃 4 tablespoons beeswax 🍃 1 tablespoon raw honey 🍃 10 drops tea tree essential oil 🍃 10 drops frankincense essential oil 🍃 5 drops oregano essential oil 🍃 5 drops lavender essential oil To Make: 1. To make this homemade skin healing balm, start by adding the calendula infused oil, coconut oil, and beeswax to a large heat proof ceramic bowl, and place the bowl over a saucepan filled with water to create a double boiler. 2. Bring the water to a boil and then reduce the temperature on the stovetop to a low heat. Heat the mixture on this low temperature until the beeswax has melted, stirring the solution frequently throughout this time. 3. Once melted, add the honey to this mixture, and stir it through the solution to dissolve and combine with the other ingredients for about one minute. 4. Next, remove the bowl from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly before stirring in the essential oils. 5. While the mixture is still warm, carefully pour the liquid balm into your chosen containers. If the solution starts to solidify while you’re still filling the jars, return the bowl back to the pan of hot water and heat it on low heat until it liquifies again. 6. Once filled, set the balm containers aside with the lids off, and allow them to fully cool and set at room temperature. The balm will harden as it cools down, and once set, it is ready to use. 7. To use the balm, use either clean fingers or a teaspoon to collect a small amount of the balm, and apply the ointment to your skin as needed. Please note that a little goes a long way. 8. Store the healing balm in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. This homemade balm can last for up to 12 months, however, the potency of its medicinal properties may decrease with time and age. #naturalskincare #skinbalm #skinhealingbalm #balm

These soap-free, moisturising and exfoliating sugar scrub cubes are the perfect two-minute DIY project to make, and smell amazing with the fragrant lavender scent. I’ve used white sugar for this recipe as it’s more gentle on skin, but if you’re looking for something a little stronger, sub in organic brown sugar, as the granules are a bit bigger making for a more intense scrub. RECIPE: 🪻 1/2 cup shea butter 🪻 1/4 cup coconut oil, solid 🪻 1 cup organic white sugar 🪻 40 drops lavender essential oil 🪻 Silicone mould To Make: 1. In a saucepan, bring several cups of water to a boil, and once boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and make a double boiler by placing the shea butter and coconut oil either in a heat-proof bowl on top of the pot of water, or in a glass jar placed in the simmering water. Stir every so often, it should only take around 15 minutes or so to melt. 2. In a separate bowl, pour in the sugar and add in the essential oil. 3. Remove the oil mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before pouring it into the bowl of sugar. Mix together with a fork to combine until all of the sugar is coated in the mix (it should be wet). 4. Using a spoon, divide and press the sugar scrub mixture into the moulds. 5. Place the moulds in the fridge and let them set for 30 minutes to one hour, or until completely set. 6. These sugar scrub cubes are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for one year, or at room temperature that is below 24 °C (75.2 °F). #sugarscrub #sugarscrubcubes #skincare #exfoliate #sugarscrubrecipe

This recipe is free from the toxic ingredients found in many conventional deodorants, such as aluminium and synthetic fragrances, but still offers effective odour protection. I kept the dilution of essential oils to 2% to avoid skin irritation. RECIPE: 🌿 8 teaspoons distilled water 🌿 3/4 teaspoon magnesium hydroxide powder 🌿 1 tablespoon baking soda (omit if you have sensitive skin) 🌿 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder 🌿 2 tablespoons witch hazel (alcohol free) 🌿 10 drops lavender essential oil 🌿 8 drops jasmine essential oil 🌿 4 drops patchouli essential oil 🌿 3 drops myrrh essential oil 🌿 30 mL roll on deodorant containers To Make: 1. To make this natural roll on deodorant recipe, start by heating the distilled water in a small saucepan until it’s very hot. 2. Add the hot distilled water and magnesium hydroxide powder to a large bowl and whisk together well to combine. 3. Next, add in the baking soda, arrowroot powder, and witch hazel to the bowl and continue whisking until well incorporated. The mixture should look smooth. 4. Add in the essential oils and whisk again to combine the ingredients. 5. Pour the mixture into the roll on deodorant bottles, and cap the lid on tightly. 6. Shake the deodorant mixture well before each use. 7. To use this natural roll on deodorant, apply this solution to clean, dry armpits. 8. Please note that less is more with this deodorant. Apply a thin layer of the solution onto the skin and rub it in if necessary. 9. Wait a few minutes before putting a shirt on, as the deodorant may leave stains. #naturaldeodorant #bodyodour #naturalskincare #deodorant

To enjoy your homemade potpourri in other various ways, add it to sachet bags and tuck it into drawers, bags, closets, storage cabinets, pillowcases, or anywhere else you want to enjoy the beautiful scent of these flowers and herbs. RECIPE: 🌿 Baskets, jars, or bowls for display 🌿 Sachets or handkerchiefs 🌿 Dried flowers and gathered plant material 🌿 Essential oils of choice (optional) 🌿 Orris root powder To Make: 1. Start by choosing the flowers, herbs, spices, and any other plant material you want to include in your potpourri mixture. 2. Next, dry the flowers and herbs using the air drying method. Once they’re dried, the flowers and herbs will be dry and crumbly to the touch, so be gentle when handling them. 3. Place the dried plant material into a container that you can seal. The fragile petals may crumble a little, but that’s okay. Don’t worry too much about how this container looks because it won’t be what you’ll be using to display the finished product. 4. Add any essential oils of choice you’ll be using to your dried items. This step is optional, so feel free to skip it if you want purely the natural fragrance of the flowers and herbs you’ll be using. 5. Seal the container and let it sit for two to four weeks in a cool, dark, dry place. The essential oils will infuse with the dried flowers and make them smell more fragrant. Do not open the container until you’re ready to use the homemade potpourri. 6. Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of orris root powder to your potpourri mix and gently toss to combine. This powder will act as a fixative to prevent the essential oil from evaporating too quickly so that the scent of your mixture smells fragrant for longer. 7. Let the mixture sit overnight, then arrange your homemade potpourri in a decorative shallow bowl or jar to display or add it to sachet bags to put into drawers, closets, or to give as gifts. 8. For the best results, keep the potpourri out of direct sunlight as this will prevent the colours from fading and preserve the scent of the plant material for longer. #potpourri #naturalfragrance #essentialoils #driedflowers #naturalscents
