Voodoo Scrub You

An invigorating body scrub for body and booty.

The salt in this recipe is designed to polish your skin, increase blood circulation and stimulate lymph production to eliminate toxins, all while naturally triggering the skin's own oil secretion. Apricot kernel oil, rich in natural emollients and vitamins A and B heal damaged skin, leaving your skin moisturized and smooth.

Here's what you do:

Make a paste out of the sea salt and apricot kernel in a bowl. While standing in the tub or shower, scrub your body in a smooth, circular motion. Apply in a firm but nonabrasive pressure, so that you affect the surface of the skin, not the underlying tissues. Gently rise off.

You'll need:

2 cups coarse sea salt
1/4 cup apricot kernel
body scrub tool or loofah

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.
