Renew Dry Skin
Seasonal changes can take a toll on your skin, so rejuvenate it with this at-home pomegranate body polish.
Dry, flaky skin is a sure sign of winter's imminent arrival, but there's no need to suffer through it. Try this homemade moisturizing and exfoliating scrub, created by Tara Oolie of New York City's Just Calm Down Spa, which uses fresh fruits in many of its signature spa therapies. Blended with oil and sugar, the pulp of crushed pomegranate seeds helps buff away rough spots while the juice contains natural acids that speed cell turnover and restore skin's natural glow.
What you'll need:
Standing in a tub or shower, apply the scrub to any rough spots on your body, working from the feet upward and using a circular motion. Rinse and pat dry, and follow with a light body lotion.
