Brandy and salt body scrub recipe

I made some Brandy and salt following the recipe Blog, I love it :)
I used it as skin disinfectant after scratching my legs during gardening, I must say the skin healed quickly. ( No germs, bacteria or viruses can resist to salt and alcohol!)

Maybe you already know, I dislike wasting quality ingredients and I often use the left overs to make another product.

When making the mixture and after letting the blend to rest for two day, I poured the Brandy (by then it is saturated of salt), in a clean bottle, to be ready to use.

I had a lot of salt left over, the salt was beautifully saturated of brandy, so it gave me an idea.



Brandy and salt body three layers scrub recipe. 


- I rinsed the salt and the Brandy left over in my mixture bottle with some rose water, and poured it in a clean jar, I added a little more rose water to cover all the salt.
- I added then one teaspoon of Castile liquid soap (optional; to make the scrub easy to wash off),
- 4 tablespoons of avocado oil to nourish the skin ( also it is very green and it will float on top of the water giving the third layer a green colour),
- 20 drops of orange essential oil with 10 drops of cedar wood essential oil. (to make the fragrance interesting with the Brandy)

Et voila I made a beautiful fragrant Body scrub, that removes dry flakes, revitalises the skin's appearance and leaves the skin very smooth.
