Sea Salt Glow Recipe

I had some Sea salt bath salts and loved them, Think I might give this recipe a try...

Sea Salt Glow Recipe
This recipe is far too easy for the remarkable benefits it gives. Again, it is the simple gifts of life that are often the best. A salt glow is one of my favorite exfoliating treatments. It leaves the skin feeling silky soft and renewed, relaxed but refreshed.

I first had the opportunity to experience this wonderful body therapy while camping in southeastern Ohio. Two women friends were insistent on treating me, and being the glutton I am for goodness, I acquiesced. As they rubbed salt and oils over my body — massaging and gently scrubbing it in, then rinsing it off with warm water — I knew I had reached heaven. If you think I’m exaggerating, just try it!

Similar recipes are a favorite treatment at many famous and expensive spas, but it’s so wonderfully simple, inexpensive and easy to do that you should try it at home. Invite a friend over for a “salt glow exchange.” It’s nicest to do it outside, where you can rinse off the salt and not worry about getting it everywhere.

Ingredients:

2 cups fine sea salt
4 cups grapeseed, apricot or almond oil
25 drops essential oil of choice

Instructions:

1. Place the salt in a wide-mouthed jar and cover with grapeseed, apricot or almond oil. Scent with essential oil. For best storage, place it in a cool area.

2. To use, dampen your entire body. Using either your hands or a loofah mitt, vigorously but gently massage the salt-and-oil mixture into your skin. Begin at your feet and work upward in a circular motion. Be careful to avoid any scratched or wounded areas. When you have massaged your entire body, rinse with warm water. Finish with a dry-towel rub.

SF, I used to get my nails done when I was working and the girl used a sea salt and tea tree oil scrub on my hands. They turned out soooooooo soft. I've tried to find the stuff or a recipe for it but haven't yet. I sure loved that stuff.

Buzzy it was probably just like this recipe, just add tea tree oil for the essential oil. When I go to Provo to pick up the boy from the airport gonna stop in at a healthfood store and pick up the ingrediants for this scrub. That is the only place I can find what I need.

If ya get yer sea salt from the pacific ocean, it already comes with its own glow.

LOL HB. Yeah SF, I was thinking maybe I could do that with the recipe. The tea oil is real nice, smells good and gives ya a tingly feeling. We have a health food/pill stuff place up here, I'll have to see if they have what I need, or else I'll have to go to Fresno to get it.
