Vanilla Body Scrub

This would make a lovely and personal gift for someone special.  Decorate a glass jar and add a small wooden spoon for easier application. 

Materials:

3/4 cup buttermilk

3/4 cup vanilla essential oil

1 teaspoon sweet almond oil

3 cups epsom salts

loofah

Preparation:

Combine ingredients.  Stir well.  Dip the loofah into your vanilla mixture.  Using circular movements, rub over the skin, including the face.  Give extra attention to rough areas.   Continue to do this until your body is covered.  Rinse off in a cool shower and pat dry.  Follow up with a soothing moisturizer.
