Salt Glow
This is a favorite spa treatment.
Before bathing, wet your skin and stand in the tub. With sea salt in your hands, give yourself a total body massage. Focus on working the salt into rough spots such as knees and elbows and avoid sensitive or irritated areas. Salt glows can be evoked with:
2 parts salt
1 part vegetable oil

Oatmeal-Honey Scrubbing Cream
1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground almonds
Combine all ingredients in a glass or enamel bowl.
To use, wet a clean washcloth with very warm water and lay it on your face for a minute OR first steam your face with an herbal vinegar. Apply the oatmeal mixture to your face, being careful to avoid the sensitive area around your eyes. Let mixture dry on your skin completely.
If your skin is young and firm, you can gently rub the dried mixture off with a clean terry washcloth or towel. Lean over the sink and rub your face in brisk, but gentle, circles with the cloth. Rinse with warm water, pat dry, and apply a fresh facial cream.
