At Home Spa: Soften Up

Noticing some dryness or roughness in your skin? Here’s a great at-home treatment that you can do in minutes. I like how it makes my skin feel…I LOVE how the treatment smells! Gives a real energy boost!

Here’s how to make your own citrus-sugar scrub. In this blend, citric acid works to soften and loosen dry skin, and the sugar scrub removes it.

What Do I Need?

1 orange, lemon or small grapefruit
1/4 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of olive oil

How Do I Make It?

1. Mix the juice of one half of an orange in a bowl with 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of olive oil (an incredible year-round all natural moisturizer).

2. Rub the other half of the orange where you need it…elbows, kneels, heels, hands. Rub the organge-sugar mixture over those same spots.

3. Gently rinse and dry.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! Also, if you don’t have an orange but you do have a lemon, lime, or grapefruit—go ahead and use that. You’ll get the citric acid benefit and a wonderful, different scent. Enjoy!
