Citrus Hairspray

Citrus Hairspray

1 orange, peel removed and chopped in pieces
1 lemon, peel removed and chopped in pieces
2 c. water

Add all to a small saucepan and boil until reduced by half. Strain and add to a bottle outfitted with a spray pump. Use as you would hairspray, but keep refrigerated or it will begin to smell badly after a few days!

Citrus Facial Refresher

Citrus Facial Refresher

2 cups water
1 vitamin C tablet
Peels from 2 lemons
4 (4 oz.) plastic spray bottles

In a small sauce pan, bring water to a boil. Add vitamin C tablet and stir until dissolved. In a medium glass bowl, add the lemon peel. Pour the hot water over the lemon peel and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to steep overnight on the counter. Pour mixture into four (4 oz.) plastic spray bottles, removing all but one piece of the lemon peel in each bottle.

Sugar Scrub for Body

Sugar Scrub

1 ¼ cups sugar

½ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil or Coconut oil

3 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice

Combine ingredients well. Store in sealed container. DO NOT omit citrus juice, as this prevents the sugar from dissolving in the oil. You can add more sugar to thicken, or more oil to thin--depends on the consistency you prefer. I have used this for almost a year with wonderful results.

Just scrub it in with circular scrubbing motion and rinse off…be ready for softer, smoother skin!

~I occasionally use this on my face (gently) when I have really dry patches in the fall and winter, with no problems.~
