Salish Spa’s Honey and Herb Scrub
Ingredients:
- 3 Tablespoons salt or sugar or combination of both
- 2 Tablespoons Salish Honey
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3 Drops of an essential oil of your choice
- Chopped fresh herbs of your choice-lavender, rosemary, lemon thyme, or mint are a great start!
Directions:
- Warm a small amount of honey in the microwave for a few seconds until it becomes thin, but not too hot to the touch.
- Pour about 2 Tablespoons of the honey into a bowl.
- Stir in 1 tablespoons of olive oil (or your favorite oil)
- Add about a 3 Tablespoon of Salt or Sugar (If you have recently shaved your legs you will want to use sugar. Also, you can use a variety of grains of salt)
- Add fresh herbs and a few drops of your favorite essential oils and mix well.
- In the shower, wet your body and turn off the shower.
- Place some of the mixture in your palms and massage in a circular motion all over legs, arms, belly and chest). Don’t do this while the shower’s running or you’ll wash off the mixture before you get the full effect.
- Rinse off in the shower.
You can double or triple the recipe, and store it for a month in a sealed container near your shower or bathtub.
