While we wind down this summer's ever-popular Lemon-Aid pedicure, we thought we’d share an at-home, winter version while you dream of the return of sunshine & bikini's.  Not to worry –  that warm weather will be back sooner than you think!

Perfect for hands, feet or anywhere that needs a little extra love…

What you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup of course sea salt
• 1/8 cup of extra light olive oil
• 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest

Gently combine the sea salt, the olive oil and the lemon zest in a bowl. Using a simple kitchen mortar and pestle, crush the rosemary to help bring out the essence of it’s oils. Add to the mixture. At a basin or in the bath, take a tablespoon of the mixture and apply to skin in a circular motion to gently remove dead skin and dry patches. Rinse with warm water. The Benefits? Rosemary Oil relieves muscle aches and pains. Lemon contains malic and citric acid, natural alphahydroxies that help to naturally slough off dead skin cells. Sea Salt exfoliates and expels toxins.
