An age-old remedy for skin troubles, sea salts are rich in minerals with healing, rejuvenating powers. This scrub, created by Christina Strutt, owes its skin-smoothing effects to the naturally exfoliating salts as well as to cleaning, moisturizing extra virgin olive oil. It's ideal for sloughing away dead skin cells and getting your legs ready for warmer weather, says Strutt. When in season, fresh pumpkin can substitute for the sea salt. Just roast about a pound and a half of pumpkin until soft( about 20 minutes) and mash with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the blend has cooled, spread it over your skin and leave on for 20 mins. before washing off.
1/2 cup finely ground sea salt, 2 Tbs. extra virgin oil. Stir together salt and olive oil in small bowl. Dampen your skin and rub the blend from head to toe, then rinse off in the shower.
