Body Scrub

I enjoyed a personal, relaxing "spa" day at my house this morning. Reducing stress & relaxing is JUST as important as a healthy diet! This is a body scrub you can do with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Use a coffee grinder or a high-powered blender to grind up the ingredients listed below.



1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup sunflower meal
1/4 cup almond meal
1 tsp. dried peppermint or 1/4 tsp. peppermint oil
1/4 tsp. rosemary essential oil
Coconut milk or herbal tea - just enough to make a paste

Mix all the ingredients together & add the coconut milk until a paste forms. Let sit for 1 minute to thicken. Rub the mixture on your face or over your entire body - this is great for all skin types - except extremely dry. Let stay on skin until the scrub dries then shower the scrub off. Moisturize afterwards with your favorite all-natural lotion. I hope you enjoy.
