Sunshine C Bath

 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.
