Honey Milk Bath Soak

We wanted to share this amazing bath soak recipe.  It’s so simple yet will soften and soothe your skin just as good as, if not better than, expensive store or boutique bought products.  Give it a try and tell us what you think!

What you need:

• 3 Tbs. Honey
• 1 Cup Hot Water
• 2 Tbs. Milk Powder

Start by adding the honey into the hot water and mix well until honey is dissolved.  Next add in the powdered milk until mixed well.  Now here comes the good part, pour the mixture into your warm bath water and relax!  Use the same day you make it, or if you must store it, this mixture will only stay good for 1-2 days refrigerated.

We hope you enjoy this soothing bath recipe!  If you like it let us know!!

Here’s another great DIY recipe!  This recipe will give you the soft, supple hands and feet you desire, and there is no better time to try this recipe than summer time when you are showing off your feet in your favorite sandals!!

Here’s what you need:

• 2-3 Tbs. Sweet Almond Oil (Olive Oil, Sunflower Oil or Apricot Oil may be used)
• 8-10 Fresh, Ripe Strawberries.
• 1-2 Tsp. Course salt (Sea Salt, or Kosher Salt)

Blend strawberries in a blender until smooth.  Mix all your ingredients together in a large bowl until oil is well incorporated into your blended strawberries.  Carefully stir in the course salt taking care not to break up the pieces too much.  You can double or triple the recipe to make more, but it is not recommended to store this DIY exfoliant.  Use mixture the same day you prepare it, store it in the refrigerator until ready to use, but you may want to let it sit out and return to room temperature before use, otherwise it may be a little chilly!  Toss any unused portion, or make a friend or your husband try it!

To use:  Gently massage onto your hands and feet.  Do not use much pressure as the salt can be too harsh for some.  After a little practice you’ll figure the right way for you to use this product.  Rough skin may be able to handle a harder massage.  Let the mixture rest on your hands and feet for a few minutes before rinsing.  Be careful if you are doing this in your bathtub, as the oils can make your tub slick.

Some experts rave about the benefits strawberries may have in beauty care.  Yes, that’s right!  Not only are strawberries good for you as far as your nutrition is concerned, they may actually help you look beautiful on the outside too.  Strawberries contain salicylic acid that can help rid the skin of dead skin cells.  They may also help reduce the look of large pores and give your skin a bright, beautiful glow.  Some even claim that using strawberries in their beauty routines, may help counteract aging.

At The StarShine Company, we also believe that scent has a lot to do with how you feel.  Wearing a Strawberry scent can really help lift the spirits because of it’s fresh and fruity scent.  We carry several different scents that have a strong note of strawberry!  Some of our favorites perfume oils and highly recommended strawberry scents are,  Strawberry (of course!), Strawberry Banana, Strawberry Cheesecake and Strawberry Musk.  And no one does samples better than we do!  All of the above scents are available in our large perfume oil sample size as well, just so you can be sure you like it!

Let us know if you try the recipe!  We’d love to hear from you!!

Here we are sharing another great recipe with you!  We don’t know about you, but a relaxing rose bath sounds perfect right about now.  What is it?  It’s a relaxing bath in Roses (or Rose Water)!

Here’s what you need:

• 1 Cup Rose Petals or Rose Water*
• 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk (Or regular Milk, if Coconut Milk is not available)

*Rose water can be purchased at many health food stores.

If you are using rose water, mix your ingredients together in a large bowl or jug.  Pour the mixture into the warm bath before you slip into it, and stir mixture into the bathwater with your hand.

If you are using rose petals you can add the petals and coconut milk directly in your warm bath water.  You may want to lightly “crumple” your petals to break them just a bit, to allow the floral scent to seep out of the petal and into your bath water a little easier!

Then relax in your beautifully scented warm milky bath!  You may want to lightly rinse your skin afterward, but that is optional!

We hope you enjoy this DIY bath recipe!  Please let us know if you try it and like it!

Don’t forget to apply some fragrant Rose Perfume Oil after your bath so you can smell like roses all day long!  Visit The StarShine Company for other great scents too!

• 1 Ripe Tomato, chopped
