My Monday Off.
Winter can dry out our skins and it leaves me with hands and feet that feel permanently cold.
On this day off why not tend to your poor hands and feet with some TLC and essential oils. This recipe is not suitable for you if you are pregnant. Try to stay away from most essential oils at this time.
Hands and Feet Body Rub
5 drops Black Pepper Essential Oil
5 drops Ginger Essential Oil
2 drops Cypress Essential OIl
20mls carrier oil such as sweet almond.
Blend the oils with the carrier oil. Gently rub the blend into your feet and hands. The oils will promote warmth (and the rubbing doesn’t hurt either!) and the massage will boost your circulation helping your hands and feet to keep warm.
Now just pull on a warm pair of socks, grab a nice hot drink and let the oils work their way into your skin. You will soon notice a difference.
