Containing loads of antioxidants, folic acid, Vitamins A, B, K and C, strawberries aren't only a nutritious summer fruit, but an esthetically useful one as well. Adding a few easy-to-find ingredients to fresh strawberries can replace expensive, chemical-laden body exfoliates and face scrubs. This quick and easy recipe can be used from head to toe, is cheap, eco-friendly and smells...well, downright delicious.
Tools & Ingredients
- 10-12 fresh strawberries
- 2.5 tablespoons of extra light olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons of salt (sea salt or coarse salt is best)
- bowl to mix and mash ingredients
- small container to hold your exfoliate (optional)
- large pestle and mortar OR fork OR small holed potato masher
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat dry. If you'd prefer an "all red" exfoliate, remove the leaves and stems from the berries. Leaving the leaves on is a great variation, however, and adds both color and texture to an otherwise fairy uniform scrub. Place your strawberries into the mixing bowl and mash them completely into pulp. A pestle and mortar works best for this, but a fork or potato masher can be used as well. Work the pulp firmly and slowly into a esthetically pleasing consistency. Stir in the olive oil until the mixture is uniform.
Add the sea salts (or coarse salt) and mix together evenly.
You've now got a great -all natural and eco-friendly!- exfoliate that you can use as a face, hand, foot or full body scrub.
