Spa Secret: Lime and Ginger Salt Glow

Pulverize 1/4 cup fresh ginger root in a blender; add 1/2 cup table salt. Mix in juice from two limes and 1/2 cup warmed vegetable oil to make a soft but gritty paste. Use to exfoliate hands, feet and rough spots such as elbows, massaging into skin with gentle circular motions. Rinse with warm water spiked with squirts of lime.

Sounds nice to me. Made me look for ginger and lime recipes online.

Here is one to try this Fall.
