1 Cup Salt
1 Cup sugar
1/2 cup baking soda
2 Tea bags of Green Tea
6 Vitamin E capsules
3/4 Cup *Almond oil
cut open bags of green tea, pour contents into a 6 cup capacity glass container (Mason Jar works well) With lid.
add Salt, Sugar, Baking soda and Oil. Poke hole in Vit E capsules and squirt contents into jar. Stir or shake well to combine. If mixture seems a bit dry, add a little more oil, should be a wet sand consistency. a little wetter is okay. Leave open to air for 24 hours, then Cover, store in cool dry place.
*Mixture may bubble and fizz a bit, this is the baking soda
To use:
Place about 1 tablespoon of scrub in the palm of your hand, Squirt about 2 pumps of liquid soap on top of scrub and rub on skin. Oil and soap work as a lubricant and prevent the salts and sugar from being too abrasive. The natural ingredients dissolve easily into the water, The baking soda removes odors, The oils leave skin feeling soft. The Green Tea and Vitamin E are natural antioxidants.
*If you do not have Almond Oil available, you can substitute Baby oil or Mineral oil if necessary. |
