Homemade Skin Care Recipe: Body exfoliation

submitted by Zbeth

Tip description / details:
Bring the spa home by creating your own soothing full body exfoliant. Easy, fool-proof and best of all, it works.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil; 3/4 cup sea salt (fine); your choice of aromatherapy oil such as neroli oil, grapefruit oil, or rose oil

How to prepare:
In a bowl pour the olive oil, followed by the sea salt, and the aromatherapy oil. Mix well.

How to use:
Use this exfoliant before or after soaping the body. It's up to you. In my case, I rinse the body in the shower for prep and then proceed with the exfoliation and then soap the body before rinsing again. After toweling dry, you may opt to apply lotion depending on how the exfoliation went. Normally, the richness of the olive oil is enough for me to feel luxuriously hydrated that lotion is really optional.

Results (observed by submitter):
Outstanding. My skin is very soft and smooth and the boyfriend is crazy about it. You can make this a part of your routine as I do once or twice a week.

Costs involved:
