Smooth Skin for Summer

Smooth Body Scrub:
Makes 1.5 Cups – Approximately 3 treatments
Ingredients:
½ C of finely grained sea salt
½ C of finely ground coffee
¼ C of grapeseed oil
½ Tsp of  lavender essential oil
Directions:
In a small bowl, mix the salt, coffee, sesame oil and lavender oil. Use the scrub in the shower away from running water. Massage into damp skin with long, firm semi-circular movements. Take your time in order to activate all of the ingredients. Rinse well. Store the leftover scrub in the refrigerator in an air-tight Tupperware. This scrub can be used 3-4 times per week.
Sea salt is used to retexturize the skin, while the coffee grounds help firm the skin and fight cellulite. Grapeseed oil is an important ingredient because it nourishes and softens your skin. Finally, the lavender oil purifies and oxygenates the skin. If you are having breakouts on your back switch the essential oil to tea tree oil because it's a natural antiseptic for the skin.
