Body Salt scrubs ...New additions to our range

Simply Essential UK have added this week to our range Body salt scrubs.  These are great for exfoliating and removing dead skin either on your body, hands, feet or face and leave you with a healthy glow.
 

The range that we have added are all hand made so can be altered in anyway if required to suit your rquirements (on request) but we have listed what we feel will suit everyones needs. 

Either made with Dead sea salt or Himalayan rock salt these body scrubs have added essential oils or fragrange oils. 

 HOW TO USE A SCRUB: Just scroop out a small amount, with your fingers a rub over the area you wish to exfoliate.  Rub the salt scrub in circular motions until you feel all the area has been covered then rinsewith warm water and dry.  It's as simple as that!

You may moisturise afterwards but do not to use soap or shower gel as this will remove the oil that you have applied.

The wonder of Tea tree essential oil

Tea tree essential oil

Latin name (INCI) : Melaleuca Alternifolia
Family : Myrtaceae
Note : Middle
Method of extraction : Steam distillation from leaves

Tea tree or Ti- tree as it is also known belongs to the Myrtaceae family which also includes, Clove essential oil, Cajeput essential oil, Niaouli essential oil and Eucalyptus essential oil.  All these essential oils have a common property of Anti infectious action.

Tea tree essential oil has a very wide range of applications. It is active against bacteria, fungi and virus organisms and is a powerful ammuno-stimulant, meaning that when the body is threatened by these organisms it increases its ability to respond.

In general tea tree essential oil is not a skin irritant and can be used undiluted on the skin, however as little as 3 drops for a bath is enough to have anti infectious action and help with the first signs of cold or flu.

Use neat tea tree essential oil on cold sores, chicken pox and shingle blisters, warts, athletes foot, ringworm, nail fungal infections or try diluted tea tree essential oil in a wash for acne and spots. For women who suffer from thrush try a douche daily using a few drops of tea tree oil in warm water.

Why use shaving oils over soap or gel?

So why use shaving oils over soap or gels?

Well the main answer is that continous shaving with soaps and gels can dry your skin out.  As a woman I find my legs are dry and flaky after using soap or shower gel .

Yes, I could add a moisturiser but then again its one more thing to do and sometimes adding cream onto the newly shaven area can leave a rash. I started using shaving oil some time ago and realised that once I had shaved my legs my skin was smooth and soft.

 As we offer shaving oils for all skin types these are made with Sweet almond oil and Jojoba oil for suppleness Essential oils are selected depending on skin type but of course these can be used by men and women. Our shaving oil for dry skin is Sandalwood shaving oil. If you have oily skin try Cedarwood shaving oil or a more feminine citrus blend for women of Citrus Zing shaving oil.  For normal skin we have Peppermint fresh shaving oil which is a refreshing clean aroma.

If you are wishing to use a shaving oil for a hollywood or bikini shave then the Soothing Lavender shaving oil  is ideal.

To use a shaving oil just rinse the area with warm water and rub in a few drops of shaving oil until the area is lubricated and then shave as normal (not using an electric razor but blades) Once the area has been shaved rinse again with warm water and you are done.  Do not wash afterwards with soap or shower gel as you will then not benefit from the oils benefits.

Testers are also available

Added 100ml extra value fragrance oils to your range.

We have added a new range of fragrance oils to our website in 100ml extra value sized bottles.  Normally you would buy fragrance oils in small 10ml and 15ml bottles but Simply Essential UK buy these in bulk to make our reed diffusers, so recently decided to offer these fragrance oils in a large quantity and pass the savings onto yourselves.

Fragrance oils are quite versitile and can be used to freshen pot pouri, few drops on a radiator vapourisers, lamp ring or oil burners, refill electric plug ins, make reed diffusers, soak a cotton ball and place in your vacuum cleaner bag, make a scented sachet for your drawers or place some on wet dish cloth or used dryer sheet and place it in your dryer.

These 100ml fragrance oils are available in a variety of aromas
