Refreshing Hand & Face Cloths

Scented and chilled hand and face cloths are a welcome detail at a summer gathering on a hot day.  Take then to the beach with you, to your picnic or boat outing, or put them out for your guests at home.

Prepare them a day or two before the gathering.  Multiply the recipe to make as many as you need.

Items Needed:

• 6 drops grapefruit essential oil
• 6 drops lemon essential oil 
• 1 teaspoon epsom salts
• 6 washcloths or small hand towels
• 1 lemon (optional)
• Sprig of eucalyptus (optional)

Directions

Fill a large bowl with cold water.  Add essential oils and Epsom salts, and mix gently until salts dissolve and oils are well-distributed.  Roll washcloths and place in bowl.  Make sure the water-and-oils mixture covers the rolled cloths.  Soak for at least 2 hours to allow cloths to absorb scents. 

Remove from water and wring out each cloth.  Re-roll, if needed.  Place rolled cloths in a freezer-safe container or bag.  Chill in freezer for a few hours or overnight.

Arrange the chilled cloths in a shallow bowl, on a platter, or in a small cooler just before the gathering.  Add strips of lemon peel and/or a sprig of eucalyptus as a pretty accent, if you'd like.

Stay cool and refreshed this summer with these hand and face cloths!

Would love to know how you like them!
