Spa Eau Naturel

Today, we had a Spa. Mommy made a natural dip which consists of citrus, lemon grass, sea salt & of course water. Mommy used to put on Spot On for us often but nowadays, she rather use something that's natural & safer like this Citrus dip.

Orange peels, lemon juice & lemon peels, lemon grass & sea salt all boiled together.

Mommy poured the dip the last after we're all scrubbed clean.

Chloe enjoyed it very much...

Oh no! Oranges & lemons grew on her!!! Even her tongue turned into an orange peel! I knew it was a bad idea from the start.

Look what grew on her head!

Oh no! Not me too!!!

This home remedy is very good to repel ticks, fleas & even mosquitoes. The sea salt benefits those who have skin problems, dry skin, allergies & eczema like Chloe & Faith often have. The orange peels have its own natural oil which you will notice floating on the surface of the water after boiling them. Lemon has a very strong citrus smell & so does the lemon grass. The lemon juice conditions the coat. You don't even have to apply conditioner! This dip does the job. We smell so fresh now! We say, two paws up for this dip! You guys must try this out but be sure not to drink any of it okay? Because Chloe did & this is what she said...

YUCK!!!

Scottie the 'Cutie' said...

Ooh...that sounds like a do-able and nice-smelling repellent! I'll be sure to get Mom to try it for me, since the ticks are getting heavy this time around. Mom hates the tick bath thingy that she had to give me every now and then, but had no idea what else to do...most things she find are quite hard to find here. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Amber-Mae, did you have a normal wash, and then have the spa as a conditioner afterwards? I'd like to try it for Penny but I don't quite understand how it all works.

I've got very dry skin too...
