Summer is coming to its end. We love the idea of the sun soaked days but by this time of the year we can see the toll those days have had on our skin! Here is a recipe to rid our bodies of those uneven tan lines and fade sun spots and help improve sun damaged.
Yogurt Body Bliss • 1/4 cup rolled oats, ground fine • 1/4 cup organic corn meal (blue is my favorite, it’s a pretty purple color) • 1/2 cup full fat yogurt • 1 Tbs sweet almond oil • 1 Tbs honey • 8 drops lavender eo • 3 drops palmarosa eo • 2 drops geranium eo • 2 chamomile eo Grind oats into a fine powder and mix with corn meal in a glass bowl. Stir in wet ingredients and essential oils. To use Rinse skin with warm water. Turn off water and use scrub all over body making sure to get the few ignored parts~ feet, hands, and armpits! Yes armpits need some love too! Leave on skin for a few minutes. The key ingredient in this body scrub is the full fat yogurt. Yogurt is high in Lactic acid, which is a natural chemical exfoliator.

I live in Florida and it's so hard to get people to understand how much damage the sun can cause to their skin. It's especially hard to get youth to understand that if they keep up their bad sun habits, they'll look 50 when they're only 30.
Thanks for spreading the word about sun-damaged skin!

Thank you Judy for reading and sharing! This was actually written by a my friend Alyssa. Alyssa is a beautiful young woman, and a real sweetie too! I think that it's wonderful that she leads by example, caring for her skin so well. She is a credit to her generation!
I just added a great after sun recipe this past Monday, I hope you will take a look and try it!
You are so right about sun damaged skin. Usually by the time the youth understand it is late in the game. So it is important that parents and friends help to instill good habits early!
Thanks for reading!
