Your skin is more likely to look dull and ashy if there’s a buildup of dry, dead cells on the surface. To speed cell turnover and get great-looking skin this summer, you’ll need to exfoliate regularly. “Once a week should do it,” says Angelina Umansky, owner of Spa Radiance in San Francisco, who pampers her clients with this all-natural body scrub. The salt and the buttermilk’s lactic acid exfoliate, and the cucumber cools. It’s especially good before applying a self-tanner to get even color.
You need:
1 medium cucumber, peeled and grated (use a cheese grater)
1 cup buttermilk
1⁄2 cup sea salt or kosher salt
Directions:
- In a small bowl, mix the cucumber and buttermilk.
- Add the salt and blend into a thick paste.
- Relax in a warm shower for 5 minutes, allowing the heat to open your pores.
- Apply the scrub, paying special attention to dry areas like elbows and knees, then rinse. (Use this scrub before shaving, because the salt can irritate freshly shaved skin.)

I’m so impressed with your idea. I love the idea of the dog cookbook. My chihuahua and Jack Russell are spoiled rotten. I need to make this some special treats. What a great idea! Thanks for being an animal lover.
i made this wonderful kosher salt hand scrub with kosher salt vanilla extract and some cold coffee giving it a wonderful smell
If you are salt-sensitive (i.e., have high blood pressure and can only ingest small amounts of salt (or none at all!), substitute the salt with sugar… (so long as you’re not diabetic!).
thats so cool. i love scrubs.
I love scrubs because I work outside a lot so my skin is often very dry. This looks right up my alley!
