Cranberry skin detox exfoliant

Recipe to make it at home

I am not sure if skin detox and romance go together but there is always room for adventure as a couple. The American Yogini yoga retreat center in New York. Mary McGuire-Wien, who offers yoga retreats at her estate, says, "This Valentine's Day (though you can use it any time) recipe is made with cranberries, to give it a luscious Valentine's crimson color.  It contains a unique enzyme that gives you the added benefit of a naturally longer shelf life than most freshly made products, so it will last 2 months in the refrigerator. You can make it days ahead of your romantic shower for two so you can give your love your full attention on the day. The essential oils have known aphrodisiac effects; the sugar smoothes and sweetens the skin, and the sweet almond oil will make you and your beloved irresistibly soft and fragrant and ready for love."

What will you need?

• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 1/2 cups organic sugar
• 1/2 cup sweet almond oil
• One scraped and finely chopped vanilla bean
• 15 drops jasmine essential oil
• 5 drops rose essential oil

Steps

Crush cranberries in food processor until fine; add sweet almond oil, vanilla infusion and pour into large bowl and add sugar, mix well and put into jars. You can decorate the jars with pretty labels or ribbon to give as gifts. Store them, refrigerated for up to two months.

Directions

Use it in the shower instead of soap. And there's no need to use a lotion after the shower--it will make the skin velvety smooth and irresistibly soft.
