Two by Sea Scrub

A salty exotic body polish.

Ready to shed that rough, dry skin? Sea salts are essential to your at-home spa kit as they exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate circulation. They open your clogged pores to accept their minerals leaving you toned, tightened and radiant.

Here's what you do:

Mix ingredients together. During bath or shower, gently rub sea salts over the skin.

You'll need:

  • 2 cups unbleached sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons dried
  • chopped orange peel
  • 3 drops essential oil of ginger
  • 2 drops essential oil of cedar wood

Do-It-Yourself Tips:

  • Try out your concoctions on an inconspicuous place like your forearm before you go slathering it all your body and have fun!
  • Use recipes with perishable food items such as eggs and veggies immediately or store in an airtight container up to one week in the frig.
  • Vodka, witch hazel, vinegar and lemon juice are natural preservatives and help extend the life of a DIY mixture.
  • Sugar and salt scrubs generally keep for a couple months as long as the container has a tight seal.
  • Store aromatherapy massage oils in a dark, well-sealed glass container for up to 6 months.
  • For gifts, consider separating the dry ingredients from the liquid and giving the recipient directions on how to mix them in one-use increments.
