Spring is in the air!  Like many of you, about this time each year my focus tends to shift towards nature and being outdoors.  And along with that I start to look at my lackluster skin which has been hidden under layers for far too long!  I know that soon shorts and t-shirts will replace my jeans and sweaters, thus exposing my currently chalky legs and arms.  Bottom line, it’s time to get the glow back!  Here is a recipe that you can literally whip up in a minute.  And honestly, I should have been applying this all Winter long!

This stuff smells so scrumptious, you will want to eat it!  And if you are using Young Living’s pure Essential Oils, you literally could take a bite.  I may have had a tiny nibble while making it. 😉

Two of my favorite essential oils to use are Peppermint and Grapefruit.  The combo is so refreshing and the peppermint wakes up all my senses!  Of course any oil or oil blend of your choosing is great.
Tip: grapefruit is known for its abilities to tone and smooth skin!

The recipe is simple.  And for me, simple is a must!  Here is my basic recipe, but honestly you can change it around to suit your needs.  For example, I prefer almond oil for its moisturizing benefits.  I used to use coconut oil but found that it drys me out when used long term.  A combo of a couple of different “fatty” oils would also work well!  Other aromas I love are, Ginger / Lime and Ylang Ylang / Lemon.

Peppermint & Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

2 cups of raw cane sugar
¼ – ⅓ cups of sweet almond oil (or oil of your choosing)
20 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil
10 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil

Mix all of the above ingredients and you are good to go!  It’s that easy!  I use this scrub all over when I take a shower to exfoliate.  It leaves you feeling so smooth & moisturized!  It’s perfect for getting your skin Spring and Summer ready!!!
