Summer is almost here which means sunshine, water, and possible dry skin…ick….but there is a great fix for that! Two simple words….Dry Brushing ! Yes there is such a thing…weird right? The first time I tried this was after spending all day at the pool….I was rather toasty! My skin had never felt so moisturized and soft…EVER!

So what is it?! Its two simple things…almond oil, and a shower brush! That’s all folks! My favorite oil is this; Almond Oil! They have so many other amazing products as well! And a shower brush from your local drugstore will do the trick. I have learned over the time of doing this, a pump on your almond oil makes it a little less messy, but hey what is the fun in that right?! Right before you get in the shower add almond oil to your brush and scrub/brush away! After your all oiled up take a cold…(I am a chicken so I make it lukewarm) shower to rinse off. Your skin will thank you for this!

There are so, so many benefits too! Exfoliation, circulation, reduces cellulite, stress relief, improves digestion and kidney functions, supports muscle tone, helps with your immune system, improves the appearance of your skin, the list goes on and on! So what are you waiting for?!

Okay I will be honest….I LOVE little make-up remover towelettes! They are so handy, quick, and easy to grab and get the job done, but have you ever read the ingredients?!? EW…GROSS! I can’t even pronounce half of what is in there! So now what…I don’t want all of those chemicals on my face or getting in my body! Grape Seed Oil! My favorite brand is Aura Cacia  (they have other amazing oils and aromatherapy too! ) I know, I know your thinking oil on my face that will surely make my face break out, but guess what?! It does the opposite! It helps with sun spots, wrinkles, fine lines, breakouts! Rub a small amount of grape seed oil on your face where ever your make up is, wait about a minute or so and remove it with a cotton ball or cotton oval! So good bye store bought towelettes! It has been real!
