Macadamia Nut & Grapefruit Essential Oil Body Glow
½ cup mineral salt
½ cup fine sea salt
8 oz. macadamia nut oil
10-12 drops of grapefruit essential oil 

Directions:  Mix all oils together first until blended then add the dry salts and mix thoroughly.  You can store this in a glass mason jar and spoon out as needed. 

In the shower, apply to the body in circular motions with your hand or body puff.  You may feel a tingle on the skin from the salts.  This is great for rough elbows, knees and heels.  Be sure to rinse completely before shaving legs and beware if you scrape or nick yourself – it may burn.  Your skin will feel smooth and the aroma of the macadamia nut oil mixed with the grapefruit is wonderful! 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Grapefruit essential oil is phototoxic and should not be used directly before sun exposure.
