Almond Oil adds moisture to the skin and can help relieve dry ichy skin. Unlike other oils almond oil is absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy residue.
In a large bowl combine the juice of 2 lemons, Rind of 1/2 lemon, 2 tablespoons almond oil along with 500 grams of course sea salt and some rosemary leaves. Stir well and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. To use simply sprinkle a few spoonfuls of the mixture into a hot bath and allow yourself to soak.
