exfoliating sea salt and apricot oil body scrub...


I came across this basic and easy to make scrub from the book "Secrets of the Spas" by Catherine Bardey. Slough off dead skin and leave your skin soft with a hint of apricot...

  • 2 cups coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 cup apricot kernel oil
  • body scrub tool (I like the tools by Earth Therapeutics for example).
Mix the sea salt and oil into a paste, while in the shower rub on skin in a circular motion from feet upwards (towards the heart). Be firm but not abrasive, after the entire body has been scrubbed use a loofah (scrub tool) to remove salt and rinse. If you feel the need to use a mild wash do so. Pat dry.
