Salt Scrub
Salt scrubs are a great way to incorporate physical cleansing into your routine - they help exfoliate, reduce inflammation, and improve blood circulation whilst also having the cleaning and protection qualities of salt, dried herbs, and oils. The recipe is easy, cheap, and quick making it one of the most accessible recipes I have.
Salt scrubs are not recommended for people with skin conditions or sensitive skin, and salt can dry out your skin so be sure to moisturize after use. As a rule of thumb, you should not use a salt scrub more than 1-2 times a week.
General Recipe:
1 cup of sea salt
1/4 cup of carrier oil
10-20 drops of essential oil
1 tbsp of herbs such as lavender, rose or chamomile and/or vitamin E oil (ensure they are crushed well)
In a bowl, stir together the salt and oil
Add the essential oil and herbs
Store in a sealed glass jar in a cool location until ready to use
To use a salt scrub, apply to damp skin in circular motions gentle for 20-30 seconds before rinsing well.
