SUGAR SCRUB INSTRUCTIONS
Hello!
First of all, I congratulate you on stepping into fresh, handmade and natural cosmetics!
Thank you for getting our help on your new journey.
You may be a little nervous to see if you can make it.
This is a very normal feeling that your brain feels when starting a new task so that it can adapt better.
Now take a deep breath and enjoy the task.
Why you should enjoy the task ?
Because I have handled all the stresfull part for you ! Choosing, finding and scaling the ingredients to reach the right product texture and effect.
I met hundereds of people who are interested in natural skincare and they attended my workshops, my trainings and my webinars. As I observed, for a new beginner the most stressfull part of the DIY cosmetics is handling (choosing, buying, scaling!) the ingredients. The most pleasent part of the DIY cosmetics is the experience of making a functional product that you can actually use it!
The process is specially designed for you to both gain a new skill and feel the satisfaction of achievement of a task.
The box in your hand is offer you both an experience and a fresh, handmade, natural cosmetic product.
Isn't it great

What do you need to provide from home to make Gentle Oil Cleanser ?

- Clean, dry stirring rod
- A clean, dry funnel (optional)
- A double boiler
How to set up a simple double boiler?
All you need to have a stainless steel souce pan, water and heater.
Fill the souce pan 2-3 cm water and put on the heater. Wait untill it boils. When it boils decrease the heat to a medium level. Asure that the bottles don't float on the water, they should stand still to avoid topple.
That is how a simple double boiler look like!
Step 2 : How to Make it

Step 3: How to Use it
Recommended use at face, body, hands and feet once in a week.
Take a small amount (size of an almond) of balm on your finger. Put on your skin part where desired and gently circular massage for 1-2 minutes. Rinse after massaging and apply your favorite moisturiser.
Do not apply extra pressure while using all scrubs. Gently massaging will be enough for a healthy scrubbing. Otherwise you may cause irritation.
Avoid to apply eye area and neck.
