I love to use praline for baths - these are so small "candy", which combine and the properties of bubbles for the bath, and the beneficial properties of milk (remember the famous milk baths Cleopatra), and aromatherapy properties. Praline for the bath can be done with the addition of essential oils, or without them - who like more like, I do it and so.
The whole charm of Pralineos is that after their use, it does not need to use additional moisturizing body creams - as they include various oils, which moisturize and soften even the most dry skin.
And such cute pralines are a wonderful little gift for the connoisseurs of gourmet cosmetics, besides, they are completely simple to make them.
How to use praline for bath.
Pour the full bathroom water, throw in water 1-2 pralines, and as soon as they melt, take the bathroom for 15-20 minutes. After melting, pralines are converted into a milk moisturizing milk, and due to its composition with a vegetable emulsifier doubling, oil traces will not remain. After the bath, it is best to get skin to the skin with a towel and wrap in a terry bathrobe. And drink delicious tea :)

Step-by-step master class
Prepare all the components that will use.
First, measure the polysorbat-20 (this is a soft vegetable emulsifier) and cocoa oil virgin
Add butt oil and coconut oil to the same container, and at the very end add liquid vegetable grape bone oil. All components weighed in one cup to so much))
We melt a mixture on slow heat in a water bath, usually it is 5 minutes, or a little longer - until it becomes homogeneous. That's what we did:
Now gradually squeeze dry milk into this mixture and in high speeds mix the mixer.
Dry milk is added until the consistency is similar to the middle density of sour cream. This stage is added to essential oils, you can take lavender essential oil for an evening relaxing bath, Ilang-Ilanga essential oil for a romantic evening or rosemary and citrus essential oil for a romantic evening. Morning tone.
Then we break the mixture according to the molds, you can use paper outlets, and you can take silicone molds for ice. And put them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until it is frozen. From tartlets, it is not necessary to immediately remove Praline, but it is better to remove from the molds.
