Pomegranate Sugar Scrub

This recipe is also on the Ladies Blend blog and was featured in Max Sports and Fitness Magazine.

Fresh pomegranate is packed full of antioxidants which is easily absorbed through the skin and has a delightful aroma that is sure to lift your spirit too.

One method to extract the seeds (arils-juice sacs) from the pomegranate is to slice off the crown, then cut the pomegranate into sections, add to a dish full of cool water.  Clean up any juice from cutting it immediately.  While the sections are in the water, use your fingers to roll them out, discard the skin and strain the water.

Pomegranate Sugar Scrub

Ingredients:
2-3 teaspoons pomegranate seeds
3 tablespoons sugar-I use Florida Crystals
1 teaspoon oil- whatever you have on hand-sunflower, canola, olive, etc.

Directions:
In a small dish, add pomegranate seeds and 1 tablespoon of sugar, crush with a spoon, adding the sugar on top of the seeds will help keep them from splattering and will also help to extract the fragrant juice.

Add oil & 2 more tablespoons of sugar and mix together.  Apply to clean feet and hands using a circulation motion to exfoliate and moisturize, rinse and pat dry
