I don’t know about you, but as we are well & truly out of the summer season, and layering up our clothing, with central heating and colder temperatures outside, my legs tends to get really dry calling out for a little tlc.
The great thing about this blend is as it exfoliates, sloughing off dead cells it also moisturises, replenishing tired & dry skin.
During a bath or shower use your salt scrub to exfoliate your skin using a light gently touch. Much like dry brushing to encourage circulation, lymphatic drainage & detoxification, you can start from your feet, using gentle circular motions moving upwards, finishing at the heart.
If limited for time or if you prefer you can focus on one area, but remember to use gentle circular motions to help free in-growing hairs and remove dead skin cells.
Using a salt or sugar scrub can be quite abrasive so I recommend only using it once or twice a week.
Recipe:
* 1 cup fine sea salt - or you can blend in other salts such as epsom salt.
* ½ cup carrier oil – use what you have athome… simple olive oil in your kitchen is wonderfully beneficial for your skin
* 5-15 drops of an essential oil (eo) or blend ofa few of your choice – lavender eo is a great option for so many reasons butfrom safety point of view it rarely causes any reactions to the skin & is incredibly soothing & relaxing.
* Optional – add in some dried herbs. I haveadded in some dried lavender flowers.
* Mix all the ingredients together until well blended, then add to a clean dry jar, label & place your pretty creation next to your bath or shower ready for use.
n.b: If you want your salt scrub to last for longer than a few weeks adding in vitamin e oil will give your salt scrub a longer shelf life / stop the oils from spoiling.
