PEELS AND POLISHES

ORANGE PEEL

This peel will restore skin tone and even out sunburn. Combine one peeled, chopped orange with two tablespoons of coarse sea salt. Massage mixture on dry skin and let sit for five minutes. Rinse well.

PINEAPPLE BODY POLISH

Special enzymes in pineapples have a wonder­ful exfoliating effect.

Peel one fresh pineapple and cut into four wedges. While showering, massage wedges into skin, starting at shoulders and working down to feet. Finish by cleansing with a light shower gel, rinsing thoroughly.

ROSE BODY POLISH

Go into the garden and pick a few roses. Combine one-half cup of Epsom salts with scented shower or bath gel to make a paste. Stir in a handful of fresh crushed roses. Rub into damp skin.

SKIN POLISH

Buff skin in the shower with a little brown sugar mixed with some vanilla extract. Rinse and then pat your skin (don’t rub) with a thick towel. Use your favorite body lotion mixed with another drop of vanilla extract.
