Mint and Lime Sugar Scrub

Any time of year….a Sugar or Salt Scrub feeds your skin like no other!  I love making this homemade Mint & Lime Scrub to feel ultimately REGENERATED! Olive oil has many health benefits….and for the skin……Incredible age defying results!

Ingredients:

2 Bunches Mint leaves

1 Cup Sugar

½ Cup Olive Oil

1 Lime - First Zest your lime & reserve the zest…..them squeeze out 2 Tbs. of juice

Directions:

1. Wash and blend a mint leaves along with lime juice.

2. Taking another container, add sugar and olive oil. Mix together.

3. Add the blended mint leaves and top off with some lime zest.

4. Apply to your legs and feet for an exfoliating, yet moisturizing scrub!

*Measurements will vary according to the type of scrub you want. If you want a more liquid, moisturizing scrub, use more olive oil. If you want your scrub to be more exfoliating, use more sugar.





Easy Sugar scrub recipe:

• 1 cup fine brown sugar

  In a CERAMIC OR GLASS bowl, add essential oil to sugar and stir thoroughly. Add almond oil gradually, stirring continuously. Stop when the scrub reaches the consistence of moist sand. Once you've made this one, try out some other ESSENTIAL OIL COMBOS!
  
  

Energizing Salt Scrub Recipe

• 1 cup finely ground salt
  
  
• 1/2 cup sweet almond oil or other carrier oil
  
  
• 8 drops grapefruit essential oil, 8 bergamot, 4 peppermint
  
   
  
  In a glass or ceramic bowl, add essential oil to salt and stir thoroughly. Add almond oil gradually, stirring continuously. Stop when the scrub reaches the consistence of moist sand. Once you've made this one, go ahead and try out some other essential oil combos!
  
  Warning: Don't use a salt scrub immediately after shaving your legs - it will sting! Instead, use the scrub before shaving. The oils left on your skin will lubricate the blade and make shaving smoother.
