Use bar soap to wash away dirt, bacteria, yeasts, fungi and viruses
My most popular blog post of all was the Make Your Own Bath Bomb post way back in November of last year. I have yet to post anymore tutorials like that and decided it was certainly time to bring back a "make your own..." tutorial. This tutorial teaches you how to make your own exfoliating, solid body butter much like another most wanted Lush product called Buffy. Ingredients Fair Trade Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Ground Rice (Oryza sativa), Ground Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Ground Aduki Beans (Phaseolus), Perfume, Lavender Oil (Lavandula hybrida), Lemon Oil (Citrus limonum), *Citral, *Limonene, *Linalool. Description Scrub-a-dub-dub, get this body butter in the tub (or shower) and buff away the day's worries. Stress disappears as our lavender-scented body butter melts into your skin, making it way beyond silky. Ground rice, almonds and aduki beans exfoliate to velvety perfection as the natural butters provide maximum miniaturization. So put down your loofah, grab your Buffy, and smooth your cares away. Buffy (Lush replica) Makes: Two 100g bars Difficulty: Easy 78 g refined cocoa butter (39%) 78 g refined shea butter (39%) 14 g ground rice (7%) 14 g ground almonds (7%) 12 g ground adzuki or red beans (6%) *4 g fragrance/essential oils (2%) mould for individual 100 g rectangular shaped bars 1. Melt the butters gently over a double boiler or in short 10-15 second bursts in the microwave. 2. Add in ground exfoliants and stir well. 3. When the mixture is warm to the touch, around 45C/115F, add in your fragrance/essential oils. 4. Allow to cool in the fridge until the mixture becomes opaque and has thickened slightly. This helps keep the exfoliants suspended in the mixture instead of sinking to the bottom when placed in the mould. Stir well. 5. Spoon the mixture into your mould and bang it down gently on the counter to get an even surface and release trapped air bubbles. 6. Put the mould back into the fridge and wait. Check back after 20 minutes and it should have hardened nicely. Pop it out of the mould and enjoy! *the amount of each essential oil to add really depends on what you like. Lush uses lavender and lemon oil; play around with them to come up with a blend that you are happy with. The recipe uses 80% butters (including fragrance/essential oils) and 20% exfoliants. You may adjust the percentages of butters and exfoliants to come up with a scrubbier bar or one that is less scrubby. However, I recommend not reducing the percentage of your butters to any less than 70% or it might not hold together very well. 70% butters and 30% exfoliants makes for a very scrubby bar! This makes a very hard bar and the high content of cocoa butter will ensure your bar doesn't melt at room temperature.You should still store it in a cool, dry place when not in use especially on hot days or if you live in a tropical country. You may have difficulty rubbing it into your skin but the bar is designed to be used in a hot shower and should melt nicely. A picture of the solid body butters I made. I used 70% unrefined butters, 30% exfoliants and omitted the use of fragrance or essential oils. You can tell it's a bit more speckly :) The above recipe is NOT the actual Lush recipe (I wish!) but a result of experimentation by me. If you choose to republish the recipe on your site or through any other medium, a heads-up and credit back to my original recipe would be greatly appreciated! That being said, I hope you have enjoyed the recipe and stay tuned for more Lush "Make Your Own" recipes! Tip: If you don't have adzuki beans you can use ground coffee beans instead. Caffeine applied topically is apparently supposed to help with cellulite. Ingredients, description and picture of Lush's Buffy were taken from Lush USA.
This Lush copycat recipe for Wiccy Magic Muscles massage lotion bar is so easy and only takes a few simple ingredients to make. The combination of cinnamon and peppermint essential oils provides a warm, tingly sensation that helps ease and soothe sore, achy muscles. The adzuki beans apply light pressure and feel like tiny little fingertips giving you a wonderful relaxing massage. And the combination of oils and butters deeply moisturize and nourish your skin.
