BEAUTY WITH NICOLE-- DIY AVOCADO/YOGURT BODY SCRUB

Beauty editor Nicole Emmerling whips up avocadoes and yogurt, but instead of eating it, she coats her body with it. Today she shares a recipe for a wonderful, natural body scrub that will leave your skin smooth and glowing. -- AP

DIY AVOCADO/YOGURT BODY SCRUB
Ingredients:
2 oz. Epsom salts
2 oz. wet coffee grounds
1 ripe, mashed avocado
2 oz. plain Greek yogurt
sunflower seed oil

Mix the avocado and yogurt in a bowl. Mix in the Epsom salts and coffee grounds. Stir in the oil a little at a time until the mixture is the consistency of paste. Step into the shower and get wet. Turn off the water. Vigorously rub the avocado/yogurt mixture all over your body from your neck down to your feet for several minutes. Rinse.

Anyone going to try this? Let's hear from you. -- AP

    Sounds nice. Greek yogurt is what we use in cooking, as definitely thicker than others.

    This sounds so refreshing and given the ingredients, it would be really healthy for your skin - especially during the dry winter months. Thanks for sharing this!
