LIME AND GINGER SALT GLOW

Steps:

• Pulverize 1/4 cup fresh ginger root in a blender; add 1/2 cup table salt.

• Use to exfoliate hands, feet and rough spots such as elbows, massaging into skin with gentle circular motions.
• Rinse with warm water spiked with squirts of lime.
• This is best if used after a nice hot bath or shower.

LIME AND GINGER SYRUP

• In a large saucepan, combine the sugar with the water and ginger and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes longer.

AROMATHERAPY SALT GLOW

Steps:

• In a small plastic or glass mixing bowl combine salt and oils.
• Mix with hands or plastic spoon. Add more salt or olive oil a little at a time if necessary to obtain desired consistency.
• While standing on a towel (to catch falling salt and oil), rub salt mixture gently on skin (arms, legs, stomach, back). You can concentrate on rough skin areas if desired (like elbows and heels) and be careful or skip sensitive skin areas.
• Take a shower and rinse off salt scrub - careful the tub will be slippery! Use a shower poof or washcloth and some mild soap to help remove the excess oil.
