Sea Salt Scrubs for Summer- Easy At-Home Remedies

Pamper yourself with this easy,do-it-yourself, salt scrub.  Thanks to Allure, I found this recipe and am so thankful I did!  Do you find your elbows and heels of your feet a little dry in the summer? Does your skin need a good scrub to get all the sun-tan lotion?  Try this easy recipe for yourself!

1 Cup almond, sesame, or vegetable oil (don't use olive oil here- doesn't work well!)
1 Cup kosher, table, or Epsom salt

1. Mix together and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds. Should be a paste-like consistency.  Add salt if needed

And here is a twist that you may enjoy to freshen up!

1 Lemon
Coarse sea salt to desire

1. Cut lemon in half, sprinkle salt over each half, and grind into elbows, knees, heels, etc.

Hint: Don't use salt scrubs on your face!  It's too rough for your delicate cheeks.  Try sugar instead.

Do you have any at home remedies you use for summer-time rough spots?
