Make Your Own Perfect Margarita Salt Scrub
I have shared a number of homemade salt and sugar scrubs but recently I have been really feeling the citrus aromas in all of my skin and body care and routine. I have a few favorites like my Lavender Vanilla Salt Scrub and my Cucumber Mint Sugar Scrub. These are my must haves year round but by simply adding some citrus like orange or lime I feel rejuvenated and ready to enjoy summer!
