Orange Summer Salt Scrub

from Deliciously Organized Blog
Ingredients: (See Note)
1/3 cup sea salt
1 cup raw organic cane sugar
1/2 cup organic coconut oil
1 tablespoon Vitamin E (optional)
30 drops Sweet Orange Essential Oil

It's always a good idea to incorporate a good exfoliant into your summer skincare routine, and I love the scent of citrus in the summer.  It is so energizing!  I found the recipe for this salt scrub on Deliciously Organized; the link to her blog can be found above.  This scrub combines the scents of orange with coconut for a nice summery blend that will leave your skin with a healthy glow.  Simply add ingredients in the order on picture label with the largest portion being sea salt, then top it off with coconut oil. Last, add about 30 orange drops and stir with a butter knife.  

Note: Her original blog post for the Summer Scrub did not include measurements for the ingredients.  Instead it listed a link to a Lavender Scrub recipe so I listed the measurements for the Lavender Scrub, substituting the Lavender oil for the Sweet Orange.  I know her photo doesn't include Vitamin E on the Summer Scrub, but I think it would be very good to keep it in the recipe as it's so good for your skin -especially during the summer months.
