      When making your body scrub, do you try to dry most of the oil that is left in these or do you leave it in? Also, do you mix it with some thing else? I am pretty excited about this one so thanks for sharing!

    Heidi, here's a tip for ya... I live in Texas and our summers here are insane. This is sandal wearing season and my feet tend to get dry and crack, also, sometimes my elbows and knees can get pretty dry. I mixed 1-cup of good olive oil, to a little over 1-cup of pink Himalayan salt; mix and use on dry skin and rinse w/warm water... I tell ya, you'll LOVE the softness of your skin; this is extremely handy for dishpan hands too, again, do it when your skin is dry, apply a bit (it goes a long way) and scrub, when you rinse... beautiful and healthy skin emerges.
    I sometimes use this scrub (I make a separate batch and will add an essential oil to give it that 'spa' feel/scent) in the shower and rinse... I do not have to put on any lotion/cream afterwards. For safety in the shower, keep some plain baking soda and shut the shower off and sprinkle the baking soda to 'wash off' the oils so you do not slip and fall.
    I enjoy your videos and the scripture... and yes, our God is ALWAYS good.
    Shalom.

    One thing I like to do with my spent herbs... save in a jar, use the end of pantyhose or just a thin sock, fill sock with about a 1/2 - 1 cup of spent herbs, tie a knot in it and add it to your bath water. There is still amazing beneficial oil still on the herbs. Feels like baby's skin when ya get out. Love being able to reuse things that we 'think' are spent. ;)

    I don't know if anyone else suggested this, but have you considered placing your little tins on Parchment, wax paper, or a silicone mat before pouring? That way any drips could be gathered up when cooled, and placed in a jar for you to have it for personal use. Just a thought.

    Another option for very dry skin if you don't want to use sandpaper - wash with a nice sugar scrub. This helps to clear off the dead skin cells so that the skin can better absorb the moisture. My good friend used to make and sell lotion and she made sugar scrub with the same scent so as to work together with the lotion/cream.

    Hi Heidi, I made my own skincare for a number of years, still do. Just a tip to make your melting process a little easier. Add your beeswax, Shea butter and coconut butter to your pot, once those have melted then add your infused oils....that way it will precent he beeswax from floating to the surface and hardening plus it will preserve the goodness from your infused oil. Another oil I personally am very fond of adding to my formulations is apricot kernel oil. Apricot kernel is a natural sunscreen, so will pair nicely with coconut and Shea butter, plus it has mega anti ageing properties.

    • @RainCountryHomestead
      @RainCountryHomestead  4 месяца назад +1

    Hi Heidi, I’ve been making my own skincare for about 13 years now. Just a suggestion. Add about 2% of your formula hexane free castor oil. Castor oil is a natural humectant, has anti microdial properties, and is wonderful in skin creams or hair treatment formulations.

    I have normal to oily skin. I normally oil cleanse with coconut oil. I just apply it and wipe off with a warm wash cloth. It leaves behind enough moisture for my skin. I used to also honey wash in the mornings but for some reason our water heater isn't heating the water. It's easy to spread the honey if you add a few drops of warm water to it and then splash it off. It's harder to do that with heated water on the stove and I'm out of the honey anyway. Lately I just wear sunscreen on my face to prevent more acne scars yet and leave the rest of my body as is to absorb more Vitamin D and even in the Philippines I didn't burn. I've already had sun positioning even though I was sitting under a tree so I make sure not to overdo it. Also I'm out of coconut oil for now so I've been using a soap that's manuka honey and tea tree I got from winning a Wedderspoon giveaway from a natural beauty blogger I followed. Hope to get coconut oil again soon since it doesn't irritate my eyes like the soap does. Anything I put on my forehead migrates into my eyes and since soap mixed with water is runnier than the oil it gets in them.

    I make an infused oil with beeswax and store it in a large easy to use [wide mouth] container and then as I need it, I add the essential oils and perhaps CBD oil, heat for 30 seconds to one minute, and stir with a very thin knitting needle. That way, everything stays fresh and not overheated. I sometimes put the salve base into 4 or 8 ounce jars and then proceed as above. It's very flexible for me. My CBD oil is calendula, coconut, sometimes comfrey oil all from my garden plus the CBD oil, and I named it "Atomic Balm". And it is as named. Just great

    • @RainCountryHomestead

      Glad that noise was not too bad, it is always hard to tell. Noises you think won't be noticeable end up sounding really loud in the video and vice versa, it is always guess work when you have background noises and pretty difficult to never have some kind of interruption when shooting videos from your own home - we may not have little ones around here but we do have a dog (sometimes two) and 10 chickens! haha

      @RainCountryHomestead  Год назад +3

      I know many like DoTERRA but I will never again use or purchase any items that are from a Multi Level Marketing company. The reason they are expensive is because of all the middlemen that get paid. Many essential oils are edible regardless of brand, the only reason NOW foods does not claim that is because it costs a lot of money to get verified for such. Though I do not do it often, I have consumed some essential oils such as using the peppermint or orange as flavoring when making homemade chocolates. They turn out great

    For my feet, I use my home made magnesium cream on wet feet after my nightly shower and I put socks on, my feet are very nice and smooth not too soft. I once used coffee to scrub my feet and I couldn't walk for a couple of days as my feet were so soft. Coffee is also messy though it's good if you don't use it as hard as I did. Magnesium cream is so much better.

    Hi Heidi,
    Hello from hamilton, Canada.
    Love your videos. Love your skin. Glad I found your video.
    BTW just as an aside, I pulverize and use the left over "INFUSED OIL HERBS" from the infused oil and keep it a jar for use before and after gardening.
    I never ever throw out precious herbs in oil. If face or hand too oily I use chickpea flour to remove excess oil. I try to not use soap at all on my face and I am 68 with pretty good spotless skin. Thks for all your tips. Take care and be safe

    I use something similar to this, but I can't use shea butter since I have a mild contact allergy. Coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E, rose essential oil, and cedarwood essential oil. I wait until the base is melted together before adding the essential oils so they don't evaporate during heating.

    • @greenfairy4894

      Hi, I noticed you recently commented. I just found this channel an hour ago. I am out of coconut oil. I don’t have bees wax. I do have a avocado oil, olive oil, shea butter and cocoa butter. A bunch of essential oil. Can I use these as a replacement for the beeswax? I really want to start making my own homemade. What whips up the best to make it creamy? I can grab the other supplies at Whole Foods if necessary. I use emulate but I’m out. It absorbs well and great for dry skin. It’s not oily and I won’t be adding emu oil. It smells kind of citrusy. My daughter is a honey eating vegan so bees wax can be used, but does it make it creamy?

    • @KeyClavis
      @KeyClavis 2 года назад +1

      @@greenfairy4894 bees wax is mostly used to solidify although it's also very good at keeping moisture in and softening the skin. You can leave it out. Both shea butter and cocoa butter are solid at room temp and can 5ake the place ofvthe wax. I would say that you could just mix what feels right to you. If it's too hard, add additional oil, too soft, add additional shea or cocoa butter. THEN add your essential oils. Be careful since some oils are irritating to the skin. Do a little googling before you add them.
