This natural body scrub is so much fun to do! Whenever you are on a sandy beach, make use of this simple technique.
After doing a sand scrub your skin will feel so beautifully
soft and will have a radiant glow. The sun, the sand and the salt water
provide such great nourishment for us!
And this is absolutely free - spa-style treatments that will
have you looking young and fresh without spending a ton of money.
Our skin is our body's biggest organ and by doing things
like body scrubs and dry skin
brushing we can really help the health of our skin.
Whenever I am on a sandy beach, I never miss an opportunity to nourish my skin with this super easy sand scrub.
Connecting with our planet, with nature is an extremely important part of health. Being in the tropics and on a beach is one of my absolute favourite ways to connect with nature and be grounded. And doing this sand scrub every time I am on a beach takes this to an even deeper level.
How do I do a Sand Scrub?
Sit on the sand, bathing in the nutrients of the sunshine
while you slowly use the sand to scrub your entire body. Work your way up
from your feet, up your legs, on your stomach and back, your fingers, hands and
arms, your armpits, your neck (back and front) and then finally your
face.
Be as gentle as you need to be so that this feels pleasurable and not at all painful
This is what I do ...
- Use a
small amount of sand in my hands.
- Use
gentle pressure and a back and forward scrubbing motion as I rub the sand
over my skin.
- Start
with the bottoms of my feet (remembering between toes and around
toenails).
- Work
my way up my body from my feet to my face
- Always with gentle pressure - feels great and not at all painful
- Avoid
any areas where the skin is irritated and/or open wounds.
- Walk
into the ocean and allow the nourishing sea water to rinse off all of the
sand.
- Soak
in the sea water for several minutes.
- Notice
how amazingly soft and silky the skin is.
