salt, sugar, oil, honey and your body

everyone has a little all-service spa at home. You may have not discovered it yet or you may only take your time with your face and a quick shower or a bath. I’ll share a little step that will elevate even the quickest of showers with a bespoke, easy to make at home scrub.

This potion is nothing complicated yet the softness and suppleness of your skin will blow your mind once you step out of your shower.

Without further ado, here’s my quick and easy body gommage.

You’ll need:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp of honey
A few drops of any essential oils of your choosing (optional)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together with spoon and put in an 8-ounce glass jar or whatever glass dish you have available.

Yield: ~ 8 ounces

Tips: use it to exfoliate your lips, cuticles on your toes and fingers, your booty and lower back, the back of your neck and under the chin. All over means all over but we do overlook some spots that need extra renewing and moisture.

Once the scrub is all over, leave it on for 5 minutes. Breathe deeply. Rinse under the shower or by dipping into a bath.

Be careful not to slip! I run hot water with a few drops of soap or shampoo to wash the oil remnants off the tub.

Enjoy the ritual,

Svetlana

Gressa Skin

ROUGE - GRESSA

$ 116.00

Description

THE REDS. These are a lip hybrid perfection. Opaque and buildable enough to be a lipstick, glossy enough to be a stain. A light glossy coat or a full color [without running] if you scoop some up with your finger or a spatula. Either way, they are soft, non-sticky and perform all day long.

Treat lips with the moisture of a balm, the coverage of a lipstick, and the glow of a gloss. With shades ranging from subtle to statement, there’s a Lip Boost for every mood. Glam your pout with Gressa Lip Boost. Light, non-sticky and moisturizing, it feels like a balm yet looks like a gloss.

Presented in a black box, this makes a perfect gift for yourself or someone else.

Directions

Wear alone or over any lip color of your preference. Double as a blush.
