It’s that time again, time to peel off the winter wear and bare those lovely legs and shoulders. Nooooo!
Despite having a mild So-Cal winter, my skin looks like I have been hanging at the north pole for the past 4 months. And we are leaving for spring break to a warmer climate so I will be wearing shorts and tank tops soon. To ensure that I don’t scare the general public with my paper white, dry legs, I need to do something now!
I generally like my Spring shape up time because it forces me to take a little time to take care of myself but I have been super busy and would rather spend money on our vacation than expensive body scrubs, so this quick fix is perfect! Chances are you have the ingredients in your kitchen right now so you too can get your scrub on.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup turbinado or brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1-2 Tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
5-7 drops lemon essential oil- I use doTERRA
Method:
combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Usage Instructions:
in the shower, scoop up a small amount of scrub and rub into skin in a circular motion, paying extra attention to knees and elbows. rinse well and follow with your favorite lotion.
Common Sense Notes- avoid eyes and mucous membranes, use of oil will make your shower or bath slippery so be careful.
