Kitchen Hands Scrub

For a scrub to use when you have garlicky or fishy hands in the kitchen try this- using a potato peeler peel the skin from two whole lemons and blitz using the thermomix for 3 seconds at speed 8. Next add 500g rock salt and blitz again at speed 8 for 1 second. Scrape the sides down and add 100g of olive oil and mix at speed 2 for 20 seconds or until well combined. Keep in a jar near the sink so it's easy to get to with stinky hands, just rub hands together with about 1 tsp and then wash off with soap and water. Nice smelling and smooths the skin. I'm going to experiment with some other flavours and oils for a shower scrub for feet and body next... perhaps mint and lime, or lavender, maybe almond oil?? I think raw sugar would work for this too, as long as you use oil rather than water so it doesn't dissolve.
