Is Your Skin Getting Enough Salt?

This scrub is perfect for exfoliating before applying a self tanner or just for a weekly exfoliation boost.

Buttermilk/Cucumber Salt Scrub

You need:

1 medium cucumber, peeled and grated (use a cheese grater)
1 c. buttermilk
1?2 c. sea salt or kosher salt (I prefer sea salt, but both will give you great results!)

Directions:

• In a small bowl, mix the cucumber and buttermilk.
• Add the salt and blend into a thick paste.
• Relax in a warm shower for 5–10minutes, allowing heat and steam to open up your pores.
• Apply the scrub liberally; pay special attention to dry areas likes elbows and knees, then rinse. (Make sure you use any scrub with salt before shaving since the salt can irritate freshly shaved skin.)
• Rinse the scrub then shave or cleanse as normal.
• Pat skin dry and use a moisturizer. Using a lighter moisturizer like Young Living’s Lavender Hand & Body Lotion will add just enough to prep your skin for a summer day. If your skin is a bit dryer, then using Sandalwood Moisture Cream will be the perfect finishing touch!
