After the over indulgence of the holidays, the parties , late nights, good food and fine wine I find myself thinking about my Detox plan for 2012! I have ordered in my fruit & vegetable boxes, cleaned out my kitchen of all tempting snacks and have set my Detox menu for January. As an Aromatherapist and Beauty tutor, I like to use a little extra help… that’s when I look to my box of aromatherapy oils! Oils are great way to boost the results of any detox diet. I find the best ways to use them are either in the bath or as a velvety after shower body oil! For best detoxing and cellulite busting results try dry brush your skin before every bath or shower.
Detoxifying bath blends: Mix in 20mls of milk or scent free bath gel with
- Blend 1: 3 drops of Grapefruit, 3 drops of Juniper berry, 2 drops of Cedarwood
- Blend 2: 3 drops of Lemon, 2 drops of Ginger , 2 drops of Benzoin
- To get an extra detox effect add one cup of Epsom Salts to your bath
Velvety Body blends: Mix 10mls of calendula (great skin oil) & 10mls Linseed ( great for blasting cellulite) with
