Bath Oil Spray

This summer, we will be diving into bath oil spray!! I have been working on putting together a complete collection of bath oil spray recipes for everyone to go crazy over. I had planned on adding these bath oil spray recipes to Bath and Body Recipes sooner, but as I am only one person… I do as much as I can with the limited amount of time I have. Okay… I give… I have added one bath oil spray recipe for you gals to enjoy until the summer update! You can find the bath oil spray recipe at Whispering Rain Bath Oil Spray Recipe. I hope you enjoy it!

Summer Site Updates

I know that I have received countless emails asking when the members area of Bath and Body Recipes will be back open. As far as I can tell, the relaunch of the Bath and Body Recipes member area will fall during summer break. Not only do I plan on having the members area open, but I have great plans for a few other site goodies.

Many of you have asked about the print options at Bath and Body Recipes. Good news, the print options will also be updated. You can expect to see printable Bath and Body recipe cards for you to share with family and friends. If you want an idea as to what this will look like, check out Natural Cleaning Recipes… pick any of the recipes to view and then click on any of the print options… you will see what I mean.

As for other summer site updates… well… you will just have to wait and see! The kids get out of school on June 4th, so the summer update will probably begin the week after… if nothing happens or goes wrong.

Coffee, with its therapeutic qualities, has many uses as a beauty ingredient. Needless to say, coffee itself has added benefits for your skin that many body scrubs do not provide. Coffee, which contains magnesium and vitamin E, acts as an antioxidant, as well as having antibacterial, exfoliating, and stimulating properties. Did you know that coffee, when applied topically, helps to redistribute fat cells and aids in decreasing the formation of cellulite? Not only does coffee help with cellulite, but I was also surprised to learn that coffee is known to shrink and tighten blood vessels. Which means, in other words, that coffee helps to eliminate varicose veins.

When using a coffee scrub, or other type of body scrub, we are basically scrubbing off the top layer of dead skin cells. It is this layer of dead skin cells that makes our skin look dull and lifeless. However, the use of a body scrub not only leaves our skin smoother, but also helps to prevent ingrown hairs and breakouts. If we scrub in a circular motion moving towards the heart, we are actually helping to increase circulation.

Coffee Scrub Recipes

Now that we have a better idea of just how great coffee scrubs are for our skin, let’s move on to a few coffee scrub recipes. I’ve posted five (5) wonderful coffee scrub recipes for you to try over at Bath and Body Recipes.
