Sea Salt Body Scrub

Recipe for Sea Salt Body Scrub:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fine sea salt
• ½ cup coconut oil (or any carrier oil of your choice)
• 10-15 drops of essential oil (such as lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for additional hydration)
• 1 tablespoon dried herbs (such as lavender buds or rose petals, optional for added fragrance)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sea salt and coconut oil.

2. Add your chosen essential oil drops to the mixture. This will provide a lovely scent and potential additional benefits depending on the oil you use.

3. If desired, incorporate the honey into the mixture for extra hydration and skin nourishment.

4. Optional: Sprinkle in dried herbs for added fragrance and texture.

5. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

How to use:

1. Dampen your body with warm water in the shower or bath.

2. Take a small amount of the scrub in your hand and gently massage it onto your wet skin in circular motions. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, and heels to exfoliate dead skin cells and increase circulation.

3. Continue to scrub for a few minutes, allowing the sea salt to work its magic.

4. Rinse off the scrub thoroughly with warm water. You can also use a mild body wash if desired.

5. Pat dry your skin gently with a towel and notice the smoothness and softness!

How often to use:

Use this body scrub 1-2 times a week for best results. Over-exfoliation can lead to skin irritation, so it is essential to give your skin enough time to recover between sessions.

Storage:

To maintain the freshness and efficacy of the scrub, store it in an airtight container. A glass jar with a tight lid works well. Place it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. The shelf life of this sea salt body scrub is typically a few months, but if you notice any changes in smell or texture, it’s best to discard it and make a fresh batch.
