"green" beauty routing for spring!

I’d
like to introduce myself to y’all, I’m Michelle! I work at SkA:nA, a luxurious spa in upstate new york. At SkA:nA we
believe in using natural ingredients to revitalize the mind, body, and spirit.
I enjoy sharing recipes and tips like these so all women can feel empowered and
beautiful. I love meeting others, sharing ideas and exploring new
opportunities!
Instead
of just wearing green this St. Patrick’s Day, try going green as well. We hear
the phrase “go green” quite often these days, having to do with anything from
cleaning products to food, and from make-up to sustainable living. Almost any
aspect of our lives can part of the ‘Go Green’ movement. Instead of just
wearing green March 17th, use this day as inspiration to use green
products on your skin as well.
Using
‘green’ products on your skin doesn’t actually have to mean you’re using
something that is the color green. It simply means that it’s consists of
natural products, is chemical free, is good for you and is good for the
environment. There’s no need to spend a lot of money on a natural product for
your skin either, a great skin exfoliation scrub can be made with ingredients
that you might already be able to find in your kitchen.
Try
making this all-natural Body Scrub to wash away winter skin and go green just
in time for St. Patrick’s Day!
Ingredients:
-Sea
Salt
-Sweet
Almond Oil
-Mint
Essential Oil
Directions: A homemade body
scrub is pretty simple to make, its 2 parts salt (or sugar) to 1 part oil.
Typically, for one batch it’s recommended to use 1 cup of salt and ½ cup of
almond oil. This body scrub can easily be stored however, so if you want to
make a little extra and keep it to use later in the week you can! Add as few or
as many drops of essential oil as you want, and mix the oil, salt and fragrance
together in a small bowl.
** Use a mason
jar for storage, and your body scrub will last for about a week.
To Apply: While in the
shower, apply the body scrub to clean, warm skin. Use small circular motions to
rub the body scrub on your arms, legs, hands, feet and torso. Wash the scrub
off. Finish normal shower routine.
The
sea salt will act as en exfoliant, washing away any dry flaky skin. As the new
skin underneath is revealed, the almond oil will moisturize and revitalize your
skin leaving you feeling fresh and clean! The mint scent will provide you with
the extra “oomph” and fresh clean feeling.
For
little to no cost, you can go green and feel clean this St. Patrick’s Day. Try
making your own body scrub and have the peace of mind that knowing what you are
using on your skin. Spring will be here faster than you can find the end of the
rainbow and no one wants the embarrassment of dry flaky skin!
