Valentine's Day is tomorrow! Time to shave my legs...ah kidding...kind of. On a serious note, no one likes dry dusty elbows and knees right? I know my man definitely appreciates it when my legs are shaved and my skin is soft.Exfoliating your body on weekly basis will keep your skin looking healthy and rejuvenated.
Making your own body scrub is easy and quite cost effective. I personally like to use sea salt in my scrubs but you can also use sugar.
Benefits of a Sea Salt Scrub:
- Helps to replace lost minerals into the skin.
- Helps to draw out toxins and increases skin blood circulation
- Helps hydrate your skin and give it a wonderful glow
- Improves skin tone by removing dry dead skin cells
DIY Sea Salt Citrus Scrub:
- 1/4 cup of sea salt
- 1 tbs of sweet almond oil (you can also use grape seed oil)
- 1 tbs finely ground lemon peel
- 3 drops of lavender essential oil
- Add all of the ingredients together and mix well
- When you are showering take about a quarter size amount and gently massage into skin, paying special attention to the back of arms, knees and elbows
- Rise off
Get your salt scrub on and have glowing skin by tomorrow!

Another great tip! It sounds delicious too, I might eat a bit.
I use the Lavender salt scrub from Trader Joe's and L-O-V-E it! I need to shave my legs too! :-) No joke!
Ooh I love homemade scrubs! I made a sugar scrub with peppermint and grapefruit essential oils and it smelled so good! I want to try this one with the sea salt!

Haha. Lindsay you crack me up. I'm kind of with you on the shaving thing. ;)
Right?
Yesterday I was in the shower, alone lol, and M was also in the bathroom and I asked him if he'd shave my legs for me if I ever got pregnant/and or too fat to do it myself. HE said yes, so then I asked if he'd do it now, and he said no dang it lol.

Sea salt + lime + virgin coconut oil makes a good exfoliator too!

Thanks for your comment in my blog
Is lavender oil and sweet almond oil easy to find? Can you get them at the grocery store or do you need to go to a health food store?
BellaGetsREal- I would suggest checking out your local health food store. They are bound to have both ingredietns for sure :)
I love scrubs. Usually I use St. Ives apricot scrub. I'm not sure whether you would recommend that kind or not. I'd really like to try making my own and this doesn't sound difficult at all.
You know the other day I noticed I had a lot of dry flakes on my feet, which was weird; I'd never noticed my feet were so dry. I used a facial scrub on my feet after I soaked them for a few minutes. It felt amazing! I even made my husband soak his feet and I gave him a foot rub with the scrub. It's like a cheap pedicure! ;)
Substitute for almond oil
