SUMMER SKIN
Two simple steps for getting that beach body: 1. Have a body. 2. Go to the beach.
Of course, it wouldn't hurt if our skin was smooth & glowing too right?! A few favorite summer body DIYS!

Margarita Body Scrub via Hello Glow
  • 1/2 cup salt- You can use regular salt, kosher salt or leftover margarita salt.
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons tequila
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • A few drops of Lime EO 
    • Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until you have a paste. Add more olive oil if needed. Then scrub away in the shower. One note of caution – use the scrub before you shave, not after, because it might burn. The tequila and lime juice are natural antiseptics, the salt exfoliates any dead skin, and the olive oil adds lots of moisture! 
Grapefruit Body Smoothing Oil
  • Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil
  • Grapefruit Essential Oil
    • In your hands, mix together one pump of Cel-Lite Magic + one drop of Grapefruit. Massage into legs and arms in a circular motion. Continue on any areas that need a little extra smoothing & get your beauty sleep! Be sure to shower before going out in the sun! 
DIY Summer Glow Serum
Ditch all the other moisturizers and serums because this one is the game-changer! Apply morning and evening for healthy, glowing skin. (PS - CBD Beauty Boost has been nicknamed ‘Botox in a Bottle' so you know it's good!)
