Bath and Body Gifts For Mother’s Day
Every mom loves to be pampered, but often enough she doesn’t have the extra time to run to the salon or spa. On those days, mom could use a quick do-it-yourself indulgence. Since Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 14, here’s a solution that provides people everywhere with unique, cannabis oil-infused gifts for mom that you can make at home. We have created the ultimate collection of handcrafted, luxury goodies that will relax the senses and ease the mind of any stressed-out mom. With homemade cannabis-infused body scrub, bubble bath, lotion and massage oil that are not only easy, but are sure to impress mom knowing that these gifts were specially made with her in mind!
EXFOLIATE AND INVIGORATE
Few things are as satisfying as feeling the gritty texture of a sugar-based body scrub and knowing that it has expelled the impurities that were lurking around and clogging up your pores. Not only do homemade scrubs cleanse and revitalize, but their organic ingredients also leave skin soft to the touch! Adding hemp oil into the mix will give your scrub an extra boost of vitamins. Among those vitamins include vitamin A, which promotes the growth of skin cells, and Vitamin E, which has anti-inflammatory properties.
What you’ll need:
An organic oil of your choice (such as coconut oil)
A hemp bar of soap
Organic sugar
Essential oil of your choice (such as lavender or peppermint)
What you do:
Melt down your bar of soap in the microwave in short intervals so it becomes completely liquidized. Add in small drops of your essential oil, then pour in your chosen organic oil. Finish by including the sugar and stir the mixture well. Pour your scrub into a jar or container of your choice. To go above and beyond, you may even pour the scrub into a silicone mold to make smaller bars of the scrub if desired. Whichever option you go for, allow ample time for your scrub to solidify.
SOAK IT UP
Bubble baths are often the leisurely routine that hardly anyone makes time to do. Help your mom slow down and drift into relaxation with the assistance of your handcrafted bubble bath recipe. The bonus addition of the cannabis oil will leave her feeling comfy and cozy in the warmth of the tub. Your mother will no doubt experience an elevated sense of ease without the drying effects of a typical bubble bath made from harsh chemicals and synthetic ingredients.
What you’ll need:
Warm water
Liquid castile soap
Organic vegetable glycerin
Cannabis oil
What you’ll do:
Simply pour all the items in the container of your choosing. When it’s time to put the bubble mix to work, gently stir the soap so the ingredients are consistent and pour into running water.
MOISTURIZE
Nothing radiates more than smooth, healthy skin on a happy mom! Plus, with the added cannabis oil, this D.I.Y. cannabis lotion can provide relief in skin ailments including psoriasis and eczema, making them the perfect ingredient for any skin care product. Soothe mom’s complexion by keeping it healthy and glowing with a hemp facemask.
What you’ll need:
Hemp oil
Coconut oil
Bentonite clay
An essential oil of your choice
A ripe avocado
What you’ll do:
Combine the ingredients and blend them together using a hand-held mixer or a food processor. Place the mask mixture in a bowl and leave it in the fridge to keep it fresh. Since this product contains avocado, we recommend that it’s made the day of or the night before it’s gifted to mom!
INDULGE A LITTLE
Let’s be real, parenting can be a tough job despite the ages of the children. That’s why a thorough massage with the right massage oil will serve as an essential stress reliever. Hemp or cannabis oil can be used in the massage oil for mom, especially if she’s in need of pain relief. It is important to remember that your massage oil will need several different oils to keep effects of each ingredient diluted. An essential oil on its own may be too strong on the skin and cause irritation. Be sure to test out your finished product before it’s packaged and wrapped away.
What you’ll need:
A carrier oil to act as a base oil (such as coconut, jojoba, olive or sweet almond oil)
Essential oils (you can use as little as two or as much as five different oils if you wish)
What you’ll do:
Begin by adding a majority of your carrier oil into a bowl. It is imperative to use a base oil in order to dilute your essential oils. Add in essential oils one drop at a time, pausing to test the level of scent (and ensuring that it doesn’t become too strong). Once you have found the perfect ratio of ingredients, all that’s left is to place your massage oil in a secure container.
