Hello everyone!
I am especially addressing to the Ladies with this post because it is related to beauty BUT it's also for anyone who's interested in home making products and cosmetics.
I'm not sure if I told you, but a few years ago me and my mother in law were almost about to open a business on healthy products and cosmetics production. For some reason (me getting pregnant and others in the way), we stopped where we are at the time but since then I do for myself at home many cosmetics and self care products like scrub, facial toner, cleansing, tooth paste, tooth water, face and body scrub, hand cream, face cream, soap and many other beauty elixirs...
I don't ever buy body scrub!
Why buy it when I can do it myself ā | Ten times better! |
I can do it with just a few ingredients or if I want something fancy, I add a few more natural ingredients.
Just a quick reminder: a scrub is a beauty product that helps with exfoliating the old cells on our skin.
Exfoliating is a MUST DO if you want to keep your skin healthy and good looking.
NOW, there are TWO MAIN COMPOUNDS that are usually used in DIY body scrubs: SALT or SUGAR
It's recommended to use it maybe twice a week? and one time only for a dry sensitive skin.
I like to apply the scrub in the shower. It's the easiest!
You can do your own research on this topic but pretty much this is it. Use it a several times/month if you want a beautiful clean skin.
DIY Scrubs have always TWO BASIC parts: oil and salt/sugar
And there are endless combinations you can make starting with these two.
You can use coconuit oil, avocado oil, olive oil, calendula oil (and any other herb infused oils), you name it.
You can add coffee grounds, essential oils, plant extracts and more.
There are really hundreds of recipes out there, you just need to experiment a bit and find what works for you.
OK, now this recipe right here! š
My mom has a lot of roses....some of them are edible too. And in the summer, a few times maybe, I do a mess in the shower by using this Rose Scrub cause it's a bit unpleaseant to have all those tiny petals gathered in the shower. Sometimes I feel it's not worthy but I'm not that lazy to not enjoy this a few times :D
SO WHO LOVES ROSES?
This scrub it's a 30 minutes work, without the part when you'll have to collect the roses.
You can wash them, but be careful, try to let them dry because it's not good to have water in this scrub (or any other). Even though you'll be keeping it in the fridge, water causes DIY products to spoil much faster.
Honestly, I didnt wash the roses because I know what I had. They were chemicals free and all that stuff. Only rain and dust..maybe some insects :)). But I cleaned them as best as I could, without washing the rose buds.
Ingredients:
coconut oil
roses
sugar
rose extract
I dont have measurements for this recipe and I felt that sugar is best together with roses, so you can use salt as well if you want. BUT, just so you know, usually I have salt in my scrubs because salt has many more health benefits than sugar.
You can use rose essential oil if you want or maybe other floral esential oils. Vanilla would be amazing too!

INSTRUCTIONS:
FIRST METHOD:
Cut the rose petals.
Add sugar. Combine.
Add coconut oil and the extract.
Mix everything very well.
Store it in the fredge. It lasts maybe up to 2 weeks.
SECOND METHOD
Add all ingredients in a food processor. And give it a couple of pulses.
I must say this method is better and I like it way more than the first.
Why? Because the petals now are blended together with the rest of the ingredients and they can go through the shower drain....But that depends on how much you mixed them inside the food processor.
I hope you enjoy the photography as well. I think the colors are really beautiful, I can't stop posting them all.

P.S. ALL THESE ROSES MADE ME THINK OF A SONG.
Every Rose Has It's Thorn - I know many of you know this lovely song.
But I particularly love this version, from the 2012 Musical Film ROCK OF AGES, starring Tom Cruise. Good movie (even though it has only 5.9 on Imdb) or at least the music in it is beautiful. I hate Imdb rates , it's not the same for every one. At least not every time:D
