How dry is your skin?
'The more and more I use sanitizer, the dryer my hands get'....says everyone!
A great way to get rid of the dry skin is by exfoliating. Not only does this process remove dead skin, it ultimately uncloggs your pores allowing your natural radiant glow to shine.
feel that natural radiant glow
The go-to scrub that I use and works every time is the Lemon and Rosemary Scrub.
Lemon is detoxifying and is packed with antiseptic properties that assist in cleansing the skin. Bonus, lemon is also a mood-enhancer, leaving you feeling awake and refreshed.
Rosemary has incredible pain-relieving properties, it aids in headache relief which also lowers stress. This magical herb also increases blood circulation throughout your body. If you use this in the evening when you shower, it also acts as a natural mosquito repellant.
Making your homemade scrub...
Lemon and Rosemary Body Scrub
You'll need the following:
- empty jar
- 1 Lemon
- 30 drops Sweet Almond Essential Oil
- Chopped Rosemary (from 2-3 stalks)
- 1 cup Epsom Salts
- optional
10 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil
10 drops of Lemon Essential Oil
Method:
- Chop up the Rosemary into small pieces, some may prefer a finer grain. Put this aside for a moment.
- In a separate bowl squeeze lemon, make sure to grate some lemon zest too. For convenience use a squeezer for the pulp and a grater for the zest.
- Add the Sweet Almond & Rosemary Essential Oil to the lemon juice and mix.
- Now take the chopped up Rosemary and add one cup of Epsom Salts to this.
- Mix the lemon and essential oil bit by bit into the rosemary and Epsom salts dry mixture.
If the scrub feels too dry, add more Sweet Almond Oil for moisture!
Make sure to do a skin patch test before applying to your whole body.
Get into the shower give your bod a wash followed by a luxurious scrub! Leave it on for 5 minutes for some shower steaming action.
Rinse off and voila, silky soft skin :)
