The essential oils should be used very sparyingly.

LAVENDER AND WITCH HAZEL MASK
This face mask unblocks and tightens pores and absorbs excess sebum. It looks like a "real" mud pack. Well worth trying.

BATH BOMBS
This recipe will turn your bath into a fragrant Jacuzzi.
These ingredients will make one or two bombs. They will keep for up to 2 months in a sealed container.
80g sodium bicarbonate
15ml citric acid
10 drops essential oil of your choice
1. Mix the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid together on a plate
2. Sprinkle the sodium bicarbonate mixture with the essential oil
This powder can be sprinkled into the bath or moulded by compression into a solid block. (We used 35mm film cases)
