I am up in Michigan for 2 weeks with my children and they are filthy. Not a little bit dirty, like they need to take a bath tonight, but truly coated in grime. There is an armor that forms on children up here consisting of pine sap, sun block and sand. This titanium-like shield of goop is virtually impossible to remove. In fact, pine pitch was used by the ancient Romans to waterproof their boats and seal barrels. It is powerful stuff. My cousins use a paint scraper to get it off of their children’s feet! My kids are not very enthusiastic about the paint scraper.  Also, that only takes care of the feet. For the rest of the body I have developed a powerful salt scrub that will remove the grime, condition the skin and smell wonderful. A bonus is that the kids can help make it.

  • Epsom salt (crushed)
  • Olive oil
  • Liquid soap
