Your largest organ, SKIN!
Whatever you put on it is absorbed and digested just like food in your tummy. I try to put as many natural ingredients in my body as I do on my body. I am always on the look out for beauty products that are as close to nature as they can be and also cruelty free. If it has to be tested on an animal to make sure it is safe then I want absolutely no part of it! I go so far as making my own skin products as often as I can. This time I made Grapefruit Sugar&Salt Scrub. This scrub will have you glowing from head to toe. The summer sun can dry out your skin and exposure to swimming waters, whether it be ocean, chlorine laced pool, or river/lake water can do the same. I needed an Epidermis pick me up so I combined a few ingredients I already have in my cupboard and created something magical. I used extra virgin olive oil and grape seed oil which are excellent antioxidant fighters!!!
Grapefruit essential oil is so good for fighting cellulite, boosting the lymphatic system, reducing muscle fatigue and stiffness, giving your mood a positive lift and helping acne prone skin. It is also very high in Vitamin C which will help combat those mid summer AC induced colds. It also smells amazing!
Here is the recipe I used to fill a 10 oz container.( I reused a store bought body scrub container)
2/3 c kosher salt(you can used sea salt if you prefer)
2/3 c organic unbleached sugar
25 drops Grapefruit essential oil
1/4 c c extra virgin olive oil
1/2 c grape seed oil
Put the sugar and salt in a container. Add the grapefruit EO and give it a mix. Add the oils and mix gently. This scrub should not be too greasy. If you see too much oil pooling on the surface add small amount of equal parts sugar and salt.
I suggest wetting your body in the shower and turning the water off. Take generous handfuls of scrub and massage into skin in a circular motion to stimulate the skin and lymph. Rinse off, towel dry and GLOW!
