Natural Homemade Scrub Recipe: Palenque Scrub

We post plenty of Panamanian cuisine recipes so that you can treat your insides to the delicious flavors of Panama. But we’ve been neglecting your outsides. Why not try an island recipe to help you slough off the tired skin cells from your body?

If you happen to be coming to the island for a Site Expedition, try this body scrub right on the beach at Isla Palenque!

Bring:
8 tablespoons olive oil or jojoba oil
10 drops essential oil – coconut, grapefruit, rosewood, lavender or chamomile.

Find:

A mixing bowl – as you stroll on the beach, pick up a dried, open coconut shell, a handful of fresh beach sand, and a stick to stir.

Prepare:

Mix sand, oil and essential oils in the bowl to a pasty consistency.

Apply:

After your swim, apply the paste all over your body and scrub gently in circular motion from neck to toes.

Rinse:

Take a long swim in the ocean.

The jungle’s going to take care of the adventure. The sunshine’s going to take care of your happy sense of wellbeing. Let Isla Palenque’s beautiful sandy beaches take care of your skin. (But don’t forget the SPF. That’s your job!)
