Margarita Body Scrub

Lately I have been to looking for all natural ways to make facials and body scrubs out of every day ingredients that you might have at home.  A lot of top selling salons and spas actually use very natural products that we have in our own homes.  I found one for Margarita Body Scrub, spas use this type of mixture when their clients come in for deep body scrubs.  This is also something that is good to use before you use self tanner to make sure that all of the dead skin cells have been removed before tanning so that you do not have discoloration.  This one is so simple and only calls for 4 ingredients:

Ingredients
1 cup fine sea salt
2 oz. olive oil
1 full lime (juiced)
3/4 oz. white tequila

Mix all ingredients together and if you have sensitive skin you can add some more olive oil if needed.  While showering, rub the mixture into the skin in a circular motion.  Make sure to rinse off all of the salt mixture and apply lotion right after you get out of the shower. 

These mixtures work well because lime and tequila are natural antiseptics, so they detoxify the skin and help improve tone and texture of the skin.  I tried it this past weekend and love it, this is something I will be adding to my routine on a more regular bases.  Enjoy!
