Massage oil with mandarin and herbs
Supplies
- 1 tangerine
- Geranium leaves
- Geranium essence
- Almond oil
- A bottle with a cork.
Preparation method
If you are not sure how large the bottle is, first fill it with water to determine how much can fit in it. You must maintain the correct ratio between the geranium essence and the almond oil.

- Add the geranium essence. Assume 25 drops per 60 ml almond oil.
