All Natural Skincare Handmade Bath Recipes: Salt Scrub

Exfoliating your skin with salt scrubs... like an all natural skincare handmade bath recipes salt scrub is a gentle abrasive action that scrubs away dead skin cells, revealing your softer skin underneath.

Are you aware that exfoliation allows moisturizer to penetrate more easily, helps prevent ingrown hairs and gives your skin a fresh rosy glow.

For a basic salt scrub, you can use simple table salt! For a more luxurious feel, choose a finely textured sea salt, or you can add rock salt or kosher salt for a coarser mix. You can even mix them together.

You can use just about any oil in your salt scrub recipe. Almond oil is delicate but it spoils quickly. Almond oil is not recommended if your scrub is going to sit around for a while, or if you're giving your salt scrub as a gift. Canola oil, sunflower oil, grape seed oil & jojoba oil are alternatives to use.

Creating your own salt scrub allows you to mix in whatever scents you choose. ... Popular essential oils are lavender, lemon, orange... a few drops is more than enough.
