April marks North Carolina Beer Month, and the perfect time to put those brews to creative use. To celebrate the month of malts, The Umstead Hotel and Spa’s (Cary, N.C.) Pastry Chef Evan Sheridan and Spa Director Carolyn Doe have whipped up a DIY Beer Body Scrub recipes inspired by their favorite local libations.

Cook Time:

Prep Time:15 min

Total Time:15 min

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

5 ounce Epsom Salt

1-2 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 tablespoon Weeping Willow Wit Beer (or your favorite beer)

2-3 drop Lemon Oil

1 Basil Leaf (chopped finely)

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, combine the Epsom Salt and Olive Oil. Slowly add in the Beer and wait until it settles in the bowl. Mix in remaining ingredients.

Prepare a warm shower and gently apply the scrub in circular motions over your legs, exfoliating the skin to a smooth finish. Breathe deeply and absorb the gentle aromas. If you experience breakouts, apply to your shoulders and back to soothe and remove impurities in the skin. After each use, store the remainder in an air tight container and keep refrigerated.
