This skin-softening combination of oranges and hibiscus is beneficial for
all skin types, including oily, acne-prone, maturing, and sun-damaged.
The high levels of antioxidants and vitamin C in this formula stimulate
cellular renewal, promote collagen formation, and fight against premature
aging. As the hibiscus infuses into the bath water, your tub will become
the most beautiful vitamin C–infused sunset of pinkish purple and orange
water. Enjoy!
YIELDS: 1 bath
1 cup solar-dried sea salt
1 tablespoon dried hibiscus flowers
1 small orange
1 teaspoon carrier oil of choice, optional
Fresh or dried rose petals, optional
What you will need: knife, cutting board, cloth bag, tea ball or
cheesecloth and string
1. To Make: Draw a bath. Put the sea salt into the tub. Place the hibiscus into
the cloth bag and toss into the tub. Slice the orange into rounds. Add the
carrier oil if you desire the added moisture. When the tub is full, add the
oranges and rose petals, if desired, to the water and swish around.
2. To Store: Plan to make this fresh for each use.
3. To Use: Get in the tub and soak for at least 20 minutes, or longer to enjoy
maximum therapeutic benefits of the active botanical ingredients. When
you are finished soaking, rinse off in the shower to remove the sweat and
toxins you released as you bathed. After a bath is also the perfect time to
use a body scrub, as your skin is softened and easily exfoliated. The
Valencia Coffee Scrub is ideal. Follow with moisturizer if
desired.
