Tropical Skin Savour for the Sensitive Skin Type
- 3 tablespoons liquid soap (preferably with no Sodium Laurel Sulphate. See note below)
- 2 tablespoons glycerine
- 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel
- 14-12 teaspoon tea tree essential oil, pure
- olive oil
- Combine the first 4 ingredients in a 125 ml bottle.
- Fill the rest of the bottle with olive oil.
- To use: In the shower, shake the formula so that it distributes evenly and pour into your hand.
- Rub into skin and especially on dry areas.
- (Wonderful for taking make up off)
- Rinse off and moisturize as usual.
- Note:.
- -I use an old 125 ml olive oil container with a secure top for traveling.
- No leaking!
- For my trip, I needed 2 of these to last me.
- - Use extreme caution when exiting from shower or bath tub as your feet might slip.
- -I am super sensitive to anything that contains Sodium Laurel Sulphite.
- This sudsing agent is in anything that "bubbles" (soap, hair shampoo, bubble bath, toothpaste and some foods) This product, in it's commercial form is used to de-grease airplanes.
- In it's pure form, it will burn the skin.
- So, when looking for products, check the ingredients and usually SLS is the second ingredient.
- There are liquid soaps on the market that do not have this ingredient and they are better for sensitive skin.
- Look in health foods stores or there are a lot of companies that sell this product on line
- - Tea Tree Essential Oil has numerous (wonderful) properties for healing troubled skin.
- I always carry this when I travel for any cuts or scrapes.
- I would use caution where applying this eso.
- This could burn very sensitive skin.
- Dilute it with some olive oil before applying or do a patch test first.
- - The No-Seems are tiny bugs that are in the sand.
- I get multiple bites on my feet and ankles that can take up to 6 weeks to heal.
- My feet and ankles can swell up to another shoe size.
- For these nasty critters, I found a homeopathic pill that helps with the bug bites.
- I take this pill 3 days before I travel.
- It is called Ledum Palustre.
- (you can find them in health food stores) Afer taking this pill, the bugs stay away and I have minimal bites.
- I highly recommend these and they have become "holiday" savors for me!
