Grapefruit Ginger Body Scrub
I love the smell of invigorating grapefruit. Not only will this scrub polish your rough spots, it’ll wake you up!
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sea salt or Epsom salts
1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon ground almond pieces
4 tablespoons grapefruit juice
2 teaspoons freshly ground ginger
Mix all the ingredients in a Tupperware or large stainless steel bowl. While standing in shower or bathtub, scrub backs of arms, legs, and rough spots with body polish. Rinse off with warm water.
Herbal Mint Steam Clean
When your face is hanging over a steaming bowl of water, there’s really no other choice but to relax. This is like taking tea for your face.
Ingredients:
One chamomile tea bag
One green tea bag
Two springs of lavender
Two sprigs of mint
3 cups water
Boil water in a teakettle. Rip open tea bags and place contents in large bowl with lavender and mint. Pour in boiling water and lean face over bowl, covering head with a towel.
Now eat all the leftovers!
