Body powder

Take 2 parts cornstarch and 1 part arrowroot powder, if available. If you don't have arrowroot, substitute cornstarch. Add essential oils of your choosing to get desired strength. I really enjoy patchouli and lavender. If you are making baby powder, go sparingly with the oils (I would recommend a little tea tree for it's antibacterial and antifungal properties). Good for dusting under breasts and in the folds of skin as well.

 

Body scrub

Take 9 parts course-ground cornmeal and 1 part sea salt (skip salt if you have open wounds). Add ground herbs, if desired. Mix with a little essential oil and enough olive or soy oil to make thick paste. Spread on body to lightly exfoliate. Rinse and moisturize, if needed.

 

Bath salts

Take sea salts or epsom salts. Add ground herbs, if you have any and essential oils until desired strength is reached. Add a handful to a hot bath. Add menthol crystals or mint oils if you have a cold.
