Sweet and Salty Body Scrub

 

Coarse sugar and mineral-rich sea salt form a dynamic exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and promotes circulation, while olive oil supplies skin-nourishing fatty acids. Add an essential oil of your choice for fragrance, if desired.

½ cup sea salt

½ cup sugar

¼ cup olive oil

Combine sea salt and sugar in a container with a sealed lid and shake thoroughly to ensure ingredients are well mixed. Slowly add olive oil, mixing as you pour. If you’re using essential oils, add a few drops. For the most intense exfoliating, apply to dry skin in a circular motion and wash thoroughly.

Hi Erica--"forbidden rice" is also called black rice and is an extremely antioxidant-rich variety that comes from China. You should be able to find it at your local natural products store.
