Zesty Apple Rub

Written by Julie Gabriel, Auther of The Green Beauty Guide.

This is a very strong exfoliating cream for the body. It’s especially good to prevent and treat extremely dry, rough skin. Use it on your feet, elbows, and knees, and if you dilute the mix with some honey or aloe vera juice, you can use it to exfoliate the rest of your body.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup fine Dead Sea salt or fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 3 tablespoons applesauce
  • 2 drops rosemary essential oil
  • 1 drop lemon essential oil
  • 3 drops grapefruit seed essential oil

Method:

Blend all the ingredients in a china bowl. Wet yourself thoroughly in the shower. Rub the scrub over your body using your hands. Rub in gentle circles, moving from your extremities toward your chest. Rinse the salt off thoroughly.

You can store the scrub in the refrigerator in airtight container for up to one month.
