DIY Citrus Body Scrub





Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin.  
Gwyneth Paltrow

 Gestern habe ich Frühjahrsklamotten anprobiert und dabei gedacht, dass es höchste Zeit wäre, mal wieder etwas für meine Haut zu tun! Vor allem für Arme und Beine, die nach dem langen Winter - um es milde auszudrücken - nicht so richtig gut aussehen. Ein schönes Peeling schleift alte Hautschüppchen ab, fördert die Durchblutung und vitalisiert den ganzen Körper. 

Dieses einfache Rezept habe ich schon mal getestet - es ist super-easy, 100% natürlich und tut richtig gut. Durch das Traubenkernöl in der Mischung ist es auch sehr pflegend. Ich habe die Anwendung von Traubenkernöl mal in dem wunderschönen Wellness-Hotel Bollants im Park kennengelernt - es enthält besonders viel Vitamin E und Polyphenole und ist somit ein super Anti-Ageing Mittel.

Ihr bracht für das Peeling nur:
1 Bio-Zitrone
250g naturreines grobes Meersalz
75ml kaltgepresstes Traubenkernöl


Zubereitung
Meersalz in ein Schälchen geben und mit dem Öl vermischen. die Zitrone auspressne und die Schale abreibem. Beides mit der Öl Salz Mischung gut vermengen - fertig! Jetzt nur noch in ein hübsches Glas abfüllen und den zitronigen Duft genießen!


Remember the body scrub DIY i posted about a while back? Meanwhile i got around making it, and it turned out great! You simply mix a cup of good, extra vergine vegetable oil - i used grapeseed-oil oil, since it's supposed to be very good for your skin - with a cup of pure sea salt and 2 teaspoons of grind lemon rind. That's it! Fill it in a pretty jar and use it on wet skin. You gently rub it in and shower it of.  Try it - and step into the week as the pretty and sparkling superstar you really are!

    I used olive oil when I was pregnant and nothing serious happened with my skin - I think it's a miraculous substance!

    I am going to try this! This winter has left our skin so dry, but this is a wonderful and natural way to bring it back! I love how you use citrus in your art and now, in a body scrub! You are genius my friend. I wish you a magnificent weekend - my spring break starts next week and sometime in that week, I plan to get out to local garden shops just to look at the flowers and start my planning of garden goodies! HUGS! Anita

    Dear Martina,

    Thanks for sharing the body scrub recipe - will have to try this. I like doing things like this - I have a brown sugar and olive oil one that I make and that is nice also.
    Happy weekend
