Scrub scent of bees

Filed under Scrub, Novelty

There are some weeks I thought… bon ça y est l’été est là et faut que je mette en état mes jambes. Fini le rasoir et bonjour l’épilateur… big mistake !!! Les épilateurs électrique ont tendance à casser le poils et du coup ça repousse en poils incarnés. Oui je sais pas très joli joli tout ça… d’autant plus que parfois ça fait mal. J’ai donc sorti mes ustensile et les ingrédients que j’avais à porter de main pour me faire un bon gommage. Je me souvenais d’un gommage de chez Body shop que j’aimais beaucoup, j’ai alors voulu le reproduire. Result ? It was perfect ! Je vous propose donc la recette.

4 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of liquid honey
2 hv tablespoon grapeseed (Feel free to take your favorite oil)
2% ET lemon
6 drops of vitamin E

Optional addition :
1 teaspoon gélisucre (gives an effect milk contact with water)


Difficulty : star greystar3 greystar3 greystar3 ––Conservation : 1 month * Capacity : 120 ml

Vous n’avez qu’à mélanger tous les ingrédients ensemble. Gardez votre gommage dans un flacon stérile et surtout qui ferme bien ! On ne voudrait pas voir les petites fourmis envahir votre salle de bain. 😉

And here… rien de plus facile. Il ne vous reste qu’à l’essayer !

*Of course in a sterile container and a place not too hot.

Here is a small label to enhance your creative !

    Cuckoo!

    I really like this recipe: it is simple and I love the smell of honey. A small question: You do not put preservatives, This is because honey and lemon are ET antibacterial right?? And do you think I can replace the gélisucre the sugar ester? Oops it's 2 questions lol!

    • Mariejoe says:

      Bonjour Kkuete… yes I also like the sweet smell of honey :-). Here I have a conservative… Vitamin E will protect the scrub rancidity. I actually have not added any anti fungal… because I have no aqueous phase (water) with this product :-).
      For your second question… I do not think that the ester can be used as a substitute because it is insoluble in oil and you may find yourself with a very homogeneous mixture…

    Super recette ! :love: In addition it is so simple, I had it all, je viens de la faire en 5 mn et je doute que ça m’ait coûté plus d’1 € ! It smells delicious honey and lemon, I tested it in the shower tomorrow morning. Thank you !

    • Mariejoe says:

      Indeed this is what is great recipe in addition to being sweet… it costs next to nothing !

    Alors verdict après la douche : j’ai la peau toute douce ! It was very nice, I tried to dry skin at first, but the “paste” spreads better on wet skin. Ça sent trop bon dans ma salle de bain ! 😀

    • Mariejoe says:

      iorhael… oh super ! Oui effectivement mieux sur une peau déjà humide sinon ça colle 😀

    Cuckoo MarieJoe,

    Thank you for your answers, However, on the sugar ester intrigue me. J’ai celui d’AZ et il est à introduire en phase huileuse alors je ne comprends pas pourquoi tu dis qu’il n’est pas miscible dans l’huile 🙄 . Have you a different?

    • Mariejoe says:

      I have exactly the same as you, the d'Az… be mixed ester oil for preparing aqueous phase with… but it is not soluble in cold (as in this recipe). This is not what is previously mixed by two ingredients together prior to the addition of an aqueous phase (or other) they are all soluble… you will always have traces of powder ester. Against by the gélisucre is already oily form… voilà pourquoi celui ci se mélange bien avec les huiles seule 🙂

      Text in AZ on sugar ester :
      “A froid : oil-insoluble and slightly soluble in water. The sugar ester can be used in several ways…”

    Aaaah ok. Well, I have learned something today!! I just place an order from AZ, If I had known I would have taken the Gélisucre, heck! Thank you very much for your answer anyway!! :up:

    Hello, I started in cosmetics and your recipe makes me feel damn, but I have a little doubt about the lemon ET, when you 2% is that it is to such 2 grs of ET for 100 grs ” paste ” because it seems much. Thank you in advance !!!

    • Mariejoe says:

      Yes exactly… it is 2 grams of essential oil to 100 grams total weight of your package. So you 98 and X grams of 2 grams of essential oil.

  11. Mom Tchoub says:
