I like to do the same kind of beauty treatments and rituals on Fridays. It gets me prepared in body and spirit for any social and romantic occasions over the weekend.

I make a salt scrub that leaves my skin soft and my aura glowing. Here’s the recipe:

In a medium sized bowl pour 2/3 cups of honey to 2 cups of kosher salt. Mix in water a tablespoon at a time until it holds together like a paste. Add any cleansing or beautifying essential oils you like – I like hyssop and rose. You can also break open any herbal tea bag you like and add it’s contents to scent and color the mix.

Bring the bowl with you into the shower. Wet your skin, then turn the water off and use your hands to gently massage the scrub all over. Avoid any freshly shaved or broken skin (salt in a wound, you know) and don’t put it on your face – it’s too harsh.

But all the rest of your body will love it. When you rinse off, the ingredients dissolve and don’t gunk up your tub or your drain. Moisturize afterwards with body oil or rich body butter for the most heavenly soft skin ever.

Enjoy!
