Sweet Orange Salt Scrub

I love being out in the sun.  And you know how much I love being at the beach.

 

 

But after a day at the beach my skin needs a little love.  

You know those times when a little exfoliation is due?

To maintain beautiful, glowing skin it’s absolutely necessary to exfoliate all those icky dead cells blocking the baby soft layer of skin underneath. But boy can the body exfoliators and scrubs in the beauty aisle really put a dent in your shopping budget. So before you rush out and spend a fortune on a salt scrub do it yourself.  

 

DIY scrubs are: 

-Super easy.

-You can make it in less than 5 minutes.

-You only use four ingredients. 

 

I totally forgot to measure how much this makes, but as you can see it filled up a wide mouthed Mason jar and another little Mason jar.

 

Coconut oil naturally protects from the sun, so this scrub is great for bare legs. And orange makes us happy!  The sweet scent of orange is always energizing and mixed with the coconut oil it makes for a delicious scent and leaves the skin with a healthy glow.  

Sweet Orange Salt Scrub:

1 cup sea salt (Epsom salt would be fine too)

1/4 cup coconut oil (olive or almond oil would work too)

1/2 teaspoon orange zest

20-30 drops of Sweet Orange essential oil

 

 

So next time you spend a day in the sun give your skin some love. 

Of course only if you are NOT nursing a sunburn.  

And that extra jar full of Sweet Orange Salt Scrub makes a thoughtful and wallet-friendly gift.

Wouldn't this be sweet in a summer spa basket?!

 

 

Warning: this will make a shower floor very greasy.  I suggest cleaning after each use.
