Dry skin is a nightmare for so many of us during the fall and winter months. Luckily, Jana Blankenship, founder of Captain Blankenship products and author of Wild Beauty: Wisdom & Recipes for Natural Self-Care, has the recipe for smooth, hydrated cold weather skin.
Sea Salt & Sunshine Scrub Recipe
YIELD: 8 OUNCES
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup fine sea salt, or mix of fine and medium grain
- 1⁄4 cup coconut oil, or more as desired
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vitamin E
- 20 drops sweet orange essential oil
- 10 drops lemongrass essential oil
- Optional: 1 tablespoon shea butter
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
8-ounce glass jar with lid
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix ingredients together in bowl with spoon. (If coconut oil is hard, you can melt quickly and add to mixture once cool. If you want to add shea butter for even more nourishment, do the same thing.)
Once mixed, with spoon, scoop scrub into jar with lid.
Use once or twice weekly or as desired; by rubbing salt with dry, clean fingers in circular motion all over body and feet.
Rinse well.
If stored out of direct sunlight, will keep for up to a year (if water is kept out of jar).
