Homemade Dog Shampoo

Not only is it important to watch what you put on your skin but it is as important what you put on your dogs skin.   Dogs shampoo is too expensive in my opinion so I hunted the internet for a recipe.   The same basic ingredients popped up in all the recipes I looked at.  After doing my research,  I made one for my dogs.  I thought I would share it with all you dog lovers out there.  I have been using it for several years and never had a problem with it.  It cleans the hair and skin and takes away any odor. 

Dog Shampoo Recipe:

1 cup finely ground oatmeal

1 cup baking soda

4 cups warm water

Mixing together and shampoo dogs.

Make sure you grind the oatmeal up as much as possible so it is easier to rinse out of the dogs hair.  Short hair is not a problem but longer hair or thick hair can be a bit more work to rinse clean.

I have never stored it because I have two Cairn Terriers.  When it is bath time they are pretty dirty because they have found every stinky thing in the yard to roll in.   I end up using the entire recipe.  I have no idea how long it would keep in the refrigerator. 

Hope you like the recipe.

Scrubs

Clairalience Scrubs are a wonderful natural exfoliant! While in the shower or bath, massage the scrub liberally over any areas of your body where you normally have dry skin. Rinse off, and  gently pat dry. Try not to rub off the oil that is left on your skin. Allow it to absorb into your skin. If you choose, you may apply a bit of Clairalience Signature or Shea Cream, depending on your skin's level of dryness. You may find that you don't need moisturizing until later in the day.

Another great use for Clairalience Scrub are for your hands. Run them under warm water, take about a quarter size scoop of the scrub and rub it into your hands. Rinse and pat dry. Your hands will feel soft and smooth.

Bath Bombs

Bath Bombs are a mixture of ingredients that are packed together to make a hard cake that will dissolve when they come in contact with water. When the bath bomb is placed in water it will fizz up and dissolve while infusing your water. When the bombs dissolve, the skin begins to absorbs the dissolved minerals from the bombs. Like bath salts, bath bombs are excellent for pulling out toxins in your skin while leaving your skin feeling healthy and creating a calming effect.

Don't have a tub!? Bath Bombs are also scrumptious in the shower and fabulous in a foot bath!
