Body Scrub Recipe

You can buy salt scrub in a fancy jar for €20, or you can make your own salt scrub for a fraction of the cost. A salt scrub is one of the easiest home spa products to make and a great spa gift.
With a home-made body scrub, you can exfoliate your body at home instead of paying €90 or more for a salt glow at the spa.
Body Scrub Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup oil. Sweet almond, grapeseed or rice bran oil are all good choices.
- 1 cup sea salt. Baleine is a good choice. You can also substitute sugar, which is gentler.
- 5 drops essential oils. The oil you choose for your body scrub depends on the result you want. Lavender is relaxing, lemongrass is refreshing and rosemary is stimulating.
Directions:
- Combine the oil and salt in a bowl and mix well. Add essential oil and combine well.
- To use, apply to dry skin using circular strokes to exfoliate the skin. Sit on the side of the tub to keep the scrub from making a mess. Don’t use a salt scrub if you have any cuts in your skin.
- Shower off or follow with a warm bath.
