RECIPE
‘Smooth as a Baby’s Behind’ Body Scrub
Envious of babies gorgeous smooth skin? Try out this scrub to get back your youthful glow from shoulders to toes.
This recipe is great when you have dry, rough skin. It has Himalayan salt as a base, which is full of minerals and nutrients to boost skin’s appearance. Salt also contains magnesium which helps to reduce inflammation and flush away toxins. Salt scrubs are more abrasive than sugar scrubs, making them great for removing dead and hardened skin. However, some people find salt scrubs a bit too abrasive, but still want all the benefits of the minerals and nutrients. So I like adding baking soda as its also a great exfoliator, but adds a softer, finer grain feeling.
The essential oils I have chosen for this scrub also pack a lot of benefits. Frankincense is liquid gold for your skin, and is known for balancing all skin types, regenerating ageing skin and smoothing out wrinkles while preventing more of them. Patchouli is known for skin hydration, stimulating the growth of new skin, and reducing the appearance of scars. Cedarwood is incredibly grounding and is known for relieving mental strain, helping with symptoms of depression and bringing relief for insomnia when stress-related, making it great to use in scrubs before bedtime.

Directions
Step 1 Mix half of the jojoba oil and the essential oils together in a bowl.
Step 2 Add in the salt and baking soda.
Step 3 Mix well and slowly add more of the Jojoba oil until you reach the desired consistency. Some people prefer a dryer scrub, while others prefer to add more of the Jojoba, to have a softer, silkier scrub.
Step 4 Store your scrub in an airtight container. Preferably an amber glass jar as this will keep the light out and extend the life of your essential oils.
Step 5 Scoop out your scrub as needed and apply in a circular motion to wet skin. Massage gently on your skin for 1-2 minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
