The pursuit of smooth, silky, soft skin is one shared by many and can be achieved both in the spa or at home. Daily exfoliation is my trick to keeping my skin looking good for the summer. I love to make my own scrubs with natural ingredients found in my kitchen. And if you do not have time to make your own check out the Green Mouth for an array of glowing body scrubs and much more.
Here’s how to protect your skin
Exfoliate
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 tangerine
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6-8 drops of tangerine essential oil
Instructions
Combine coconut oil, essential oil together. Add 1-2 cups of sugar until you find the consistency you prefer. The more sugar used the coarser the scrub will become. Grate tangerine peel into sugar scrub and mix well and keep in a mason jar.
Hydrate
Hydrate immediately after your shower while the body is still damp. I like buriti fruit oil. The buriti fruit is rich in vitamins, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants that hydrate, fortify, and protect skin.
Sunscreen
Don’t forget the back of your knees, ears and hands!
