Keeping our bodies healthy involves more than just healthy eating. The toxins we subject ourselves to every day also effect our systems. It's Natural is a new section of posts where I'll tell about natural products to replace the chemical ones. It may be homemade, store bought, or a new use for a natural item. If you know of an easy, homemade solution, please leave a comment.
Homemade Sugar Scrub
1 cup sugar
1 cup olive oil
1/3 cup kosher or sea salt
1 tbsp lemon juice (lime or pure orange juice will work too)
Stir together. Rub a small amount on hands, feet, elbows, and other rough spots. Rinse off with warm water.
Store unused sugar scrub in the fridge.
The sugar and salt scrub off dead skin cells while the oil moisturizes. The citrus juice gets rid of odors, and lemon juice may help lighten dark spots. Other essential oils can be used in place of the juice if desired. If you have cuts on your hands, I recommend not adding the salt because it will BURN.
