Salt Scrubs

Share





Salt Scrubs are a great way to brighten, invigorate and nourish the skin. A salt scrub leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturized. There is no need to use a lotion. Salt scrubs help to increase circulation and the flow of the lymph system.

How to Use a Salt Scrub: Wash your body first with soap or body wash. Apply salt scrub to skin by massaging in circular motions. Start the scrub on the feet and move upwards towards the heart. Next apply the scrub to the hands and move upwards towards the heart. Don't use on the face. After shower or bath, lightly pat skin dry. Use once a week.

TIP: To prevent a slippery shower floor or bathtub: Keep baking soda close by and sprinkle it in the shower or bathtub to absorb oil after using a salt scrub.

Grapefruit Salt Scrub(make right before a shower or bath)

Thanks for the great recipe. Can I put any natural preservatives in this so it will keep longer? If so, what do you suggest? Thanks!

Hi Jessica,
You can add Vitamin E or Rosemary oleoresin. Both of these are antioxidants that extend the shelf life of the oils.
