Citrus Salt Scrub...

Citrus Salt Scrub

My daughter Becky is a massage therapist and recently she told me when she wants a salt or sugar scrub she just makes her own...hmm really?... make your own?....how does that go?...she said you just mix these few things together and that's it...she would never buy the expensive version they sell....wow how easy is this!

Citrus Salt Scrub
1/2 cup sea salt
1/2 cup olive oil
(can substitute sweet almond oil or vegetable oil)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
Directions: In a medium dry bowl, combine all ingredients making sure to not let any water touch them as it will dissolve the salt. Pour mixture into an airtight container and store in a cool dry place.

To use: Just before showering, swirl ingredients together with your fingertips to mix. Clean body completely and just before exiting shower, apply Citrus Salt Body Scrub to body in a firm circular scrubbing motion with hands or a soft washcloth. Rinse off the mixture and pat body dry with a clean towel. (my own helpful hint: before you shower set a separate dishpan in the shower floor and sit on the side of the tub and rub this scrub on your legs....it will save you alot of slippery mess in the bottom of the shower....

yep, just a few ingredients....I thought I might color it yellow...just for the picture...but it didn't need it...it comes out yellow...

coarse sea salt....

grated orange and lemon....

add the olive oil in my case......stir and....

put in a cute jar you saved from something else.....

tie a pretty ribbon and it is ready to go! You will have the softest silkiest legs...better than if you just left the salon...this would make a great quick gift also.

Cheers to Happy  !!
