An invigorating treatment from Aurora Spa in St. Kilda, Victoria, combining the best of Australian ingredients: salt from the Australian desert, lavender harvested in Tasmania, Australian bush flower essences, Queensland macadamia oil and the distinct aromas of the Australian bush- eucalyptus and tea tree oil. Salt has anti-inflammatory properties, remineralises the skin and reduces redness. It helps draw out toxins out of the body through osmosis and encourages skin to secrete its natural oils. Lavender helps to restore balance, enhance relaxation, refresh, energise and promote healing. This scrub is a stimulating exfoliate and leaves the skin well nourished and smooth. Do not apply to the face or on sunburnt skin, open cuts or wounds, after shaving or waxing, or to sensitive skin. Ingredients:
1/2 cup medium-ground australian desert salt (or substitute with sea salt) |
1 tablespoon crushed tasmania lavender (or any fresh lavender) |
1/4 cup warmed macadamia nut oil |
1 drop lavender oil |
1 drop tea tree essential oil |
1 drop eucalyptus essential oil |
Directions:
1. Blend salt with the lavender.
2. Pour the oil into the salt blend to form a slurry.
3. Add the essential oils.
4. For aroma therapy benefits, add 7 drops waratah essence (helpful for coping with stress) and 7 drops bottle brush essence (helps emotional bonding).
5. Stir well.
6. To use, massage the salt mixture into the body, avoiding the face and sensitive areas. Pay particular attention to the heels, knees and elbows. Rinse off in the shower or bath, or leave for 15 minutes in a steam room before rinsing.
