Ladies,
Have you ever felt a bit sad when trashing your dead roses? Feel guilty no more! Dry the rose petals instead and use them to make a skin softening body scrub. I used Epson salts instead of sugar because I prefer a more coarse scrub to use an exfoliant.
I’m not one to take on craft projects so do-it-yourself tasks need to be five steps or less or I might just pitch the notion. This scrub is so easy to make that I’ll definitely make it again.
Grapefruit Rose Petal Body Scrub is easy peasy and requires only a few ingredients. Make it today, use it tonight on those summer flip flop feet or as an all-over body scrub to sluff away dry skin.
