Weekend Reset: Simple Rituals with Salts, Oils & Candlelight

1) Choose-Your-Salt Soak (3-minute prep)

Pick the texture and feel you love, then keep the recipe simple.

Your salt guide

• Epsom Salt – classic, fine grain; great for a quick, silky bath feel.
• Magnesium Flakes (Dead Sea–sourced) – larger, flake-like crystals with a spa vibe.
• Dead Sea Salt – mineral-rich granules, a little “weighty” in the water.
• Himalayan Pink Salt – pretty hue and gentle scrubby feel in a foot soak.

Base recipe (one bath)

• 1 cup of your chosen salt
• 1 tbsp carrier oil (Jojoba or Fractionated Coconut)
• Optional: 4–6 drops essential oil (Lavender, Sweet Orange, or Eucalyptus)

How to: Blend the essential oil into the carrier oil first, then toss through the salt and add to warm water. Swirl to dissolve. Soak ~20 minutes. External use only.

2) Castor Oil Weekender (hair, brows & nails)

Keep it minimalist—castor’s rich texture shines in slow, simple routines.

Pre-wash hair mask

1. Warm a teaspoon of Castor Oil between your palms. Work through mid-lengths and ends.
2. Leave 20–40 minutes, then shampoo as normal. Adjust amount for hair thickness.

Brows & nails

• Brows: With a clean spoolie, lightly sweep a drop across brows. Avoid direct contact with eyes.
• Nails: Massage a tiny drop into cuticles before bed.

Note: External use only. Patch test first. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes.

3) Everyday Body Oil (light & fast-absorbing)

A two-oil blend that sinks in quickly and layers under your usual routine.

100 mL formula

• 60 mL Jojoba Oil
• 40 mL Fractionated Coconut Oil
• Optional aroma: 0.5–1% essential oil (10–20 drops per 100 mL)

1. Combine oils in a clean bottle. Add essential oil if using, cap, and roll to blend.
2. Apply to slightly damp skin after a shower for a soft, non-greasy finish.

Swap: Prefer a richer feel? Use Virgin Coconut Oil in cooler months (it melts on skin).

4) Two-Ingredient Salt Hand/Foot Polish

Quick polish for hands or heels—no fuss, just glow.

Mix in a small bowl

• 2 tbsp fine Epsom or finely crushed Himalayan Salt
• 1 tbsp Virgin Coconut Oil or Jojoba Oil
• Optional: 1–2 drops Sweet Orange or Lavender essential oil

1. Blend to a paste. Massage gently for 30–60 seconds.
2. Rinse and pat dry. Follow with a few drops of your body oil.

Caution: Oil can make surfaces slippery. Rinse showers/tubs promptly.

5) Candle + Essential Oil Mood Pairings

Layer gentle candlelight with a matching diffuser blend for a cosy evening.

• Calm & cosy: Soy candle with vanilla/amber notes + Lavender (2) & Sweet Orange (1) in a diffuser.
• Fresh & clear: Clean, airy candle + Eucalyptus (2) & Lemon Myrtle (1).
• Uplifting: Citrus-leaning candle + Mandarin (2) & Ylang Ylang (1) for a soft floral lift.

Safety: Burn candles on heat-safe surfaces, away from drafts and children/pets. Follow your diffuser’s instructions and keep EO blends moderate.
