How to Make Sea Salt Body Scrub for Radiant Skin

January 21, 2013 Amy 14 Comments

Simple indulgence is what this week is about. What better way to pamper yourself, than with a luxurious sea salt body scrub. This not only will exfoliate, but also provide a rich moisturizer for your skin. My skin gets really dry during the winter, so I need a little extra moisturizer during this dry time of year.

Let’s talk about exfoliating your skin with a good salt scrub. I like to use sea salt, since you can purchase it at the store. It is super cheap and a great natural spa ingredient! Sea salt is great for baths and the skin, since it acts as a water softener and gently exfoliates the skin . It is one of the most common ingredients in high end spa treatments. Sea salt naturally detoxifies the skin, since it absorbs toxins on your skin. Since sea salt is processed differently than table salt, it retains some additional minerals rather than regular table salt.

Sea Salt Body Scrub for Radiant Skin

Body Scrub
Make your own luxurious body scrub with just three ingredients. Super easy.

 

Sea Salt Body Scrub:

1/4 cup sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons Lemon or Lime juice
10 – 20 drops lemon essential oil

Directions for Sea Salt Body Scrub:

1. Mix the salt thoroughly with the oil and essential oil, so the lemon juice won’t dissolve the salt.

2. Add sea salt and mix all the ingredients together.

3. Gently massage into the skin, while taking a shower to exfoliate the skin. This will also soften and moisturize your skin.

4. Rinse off the scrub in a warm shower for smooth, silky skin for a fraction of the cost. Increase amounts to create a larger batches of this scrub.

    I made this with my cousin for a baby shower take home and we put them in Gerber baby food jars and put cute labels on them. We added essential oil instead of lemon juice but I think that is a great idea. It was super easy to mix up and I still have one in the cupboard that I need to put in the shower so that I can actually use it 🙂 We had really soft hands after making it all too!!! It is almost like the Mary Kay Hand product if you have ever tried it.

      It should last about a month.

        Can you leave it out at room temperature or do you need to refrigerate it?

          You can leave out at room temperature. But I would use it before a month. The oil will go rancid and not smell as good.
