Editors Note: The following recipe was sent to Myalgia Mommies by Michelle Pino. She suggested that we might enjoy a simple, all natural spa treatment that we could make and use at home.
My tween daughter made a version of a sugar scrub at a sleepover and I'm excited to try it. The all natural scrub was her "Peace offering" after she brought home some body spray she bought with friends at the mall and I made her leave it on the porch. Many bath and beauty products contain chemicals that trigger headaches for me. Among Myalgia Mommies I meet I find this to be a shared experience. I know some days finding time for a shower is a struggle, but when you do, here is a little tip to glam up your day!
Get Spring
Ready Skin with This Simple DIY Body Scrub
Don’t you just love seeing the grass turn green, watching flowers
blossom and the feel of the sun shining down on you? Sunshine is a rare thing
during the winter months here in Central New York, but there’s plenty of it to
look forward to come spring and summer. While spring brings all the things we
love, one thing most people don’t look forward to is revealing the dull, dry
skin winter has covered up.
This time of year, dry skin is a major focus of treatments at our spa in Central New York. We use a combination of natural
ingredients, including organic products and fresh herbs to treat wintered skin.
Fortunately, you can find many of the same ingredients we use at the spa right
in your own home, or with a quick trip to your local grocery store!
This easy, inexpensive DIY body scrub is the perfect way to prep
for the tank tops, sundresses and flip-flops of spring in the comfort of your
own home! You can find all of these items in the baking section of your local grocery
store.
Ingredients:
1 c. White Granulated Sugar
½ c. Almond Oil
4-6 drops Lavander Essential Oil
Place the sugar in a mixing bowl and slowly add almond oil. Use a
metal spoon to blend the ingredients to produce an even textured scrub. Break up
any large clumps you see. You can use less or more of the oil, just make sure
your scrub is not too soupy and avoid dissolving the sugar granuals.
Apply the scrub to warm, clean skin in the shower. Use your hands
to massage it in using circular motions. Rinse off with warm water and pat
yourself dry with a soft, clean towel. I don’t recommend using this scrub on
your face because it may be too coarse.
And that's it! You have beautiful spring ready skin in two simple
steps!
Sugar scrubs are easy to make and you can use them any time of
year! Experiment with different essential oils to get a scent that is perfect
for you!

I've been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Today, I went to the beachfront with my children.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic
but I had to tell someone!
