Ah, bathing suits! They sure do have a tendency to expose us and, unfortunately, we are not all blessed with smooth, clear skin. That’s why this formula is such a find: its gentle exfoliating and antibacterial action make it great for getting rid of acne and other bumps and flaws, leaving us with bathing-suit-worthy skin.

It only takes two ingredients: one helps to gently remove dead skin cells, and the other is anti-inflammatory. Both fight bacteria. Soothe your skin and leave it silky and clear with this simple formula:

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup sea salt
2 teaspoons ground calendula flowers

1. Get yourself wet in the tub or shower. Scoop some of the formula up with your hand and rub the formula gently over your body, concentrating on problem areas.

2. Rinse well.

ground calendula flowers? Do we just pick them from the garden and put them in the meat grinder? Are they freshly blossemed, been around awhile, or on their last days? Sorry, I know it seems incredibly dense, but I just don't know. Also, in another recipe Homemade Sugar Scrub by Larry Pleasant, CEO of Vermont Soapworks, hibiscus powder was an optional ingredient:do we process this at home, and what is the process? Again, what stage is the flower in if we are using fresh from the garden blossoms, do we separate the petals, air dry them then how do we pulverize them?
yuh. I need step by step procedures, please.
Thank you so much. :)
