This is a body scrub I made up with ingredients that most anyone has on hand. The essential oils are optional. Everyone who has tried it loves it, enjoy!
Yield: 1 full body application
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Price Category: 1
Difficulty Level: 1
Shelf Life: 1-2 weeks, keep refrigerated
Ingredients:
1/2 cup natural sea salt
1/2 cup sugar (I used white, but brown will do)
1/2 to 1 cup olive oil
zest of one orange
2-3 drops orange essential oil (optional)
1 teaspoon vinalla extract
Blending Procedure:
In a large mixing bowl, combin the sugar and salt using a spatula.
Zest the orange, then finely chop the zest. Set aside.
Add the oil a little at a time, stirring after each addition. Add enough oil to make a spreadable paste that will easily glide over your skin.
Add the zest, then the essential oil (if using) and stir. Add the vanilla extract last and stir again.
I warm up the bathroom by turning on the shower for about 5 minutes and/or using a small space heater and allowing the bathroom to become nice and warm before using the scrub. Be careful as the scrub makes your shower or tub very slippery!
Get into shower and wet your skin all over, turn off the shower (this is why it is nice to have bathroom nice and warm). Use the scrub all over except on sensitive area such as face, freshly shaved legs, etc. If you use it before your shave, it gives you a smoother shave. Massage your entire body gently allowing the oil to soak in. Pay special attention to knees, elbows and feet. Enjoy your silky, smooth, sweet smelling skin, then slip into your favorite jammies. Enjoy!
