How to Make Your Own Body Scrub

I got sent a few beauty recipes to try out. This tutorial will show you how to create your own body scrub with just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sea salt
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• 1/4 cup finely ground cornmeal
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Essential oils: Use 3 drops peppermint oil with 5 drops lavender oil for a “for her” salt scrub. Use 10-12 drops of sandalwood or Thieves essential oil for a “for him” salt scrub.
• Optional ingredients: Use 2 ground bay leaves for a “for him” salt scrub. You can also add a couple drops coconut oil or vitamin E oil.

Instructions:

1. Mix all ingredients well.

2. Store in reusable glass jar with a tight fitting lid.

To use: Apply salt scrub to a clean body. Relax for 10-15 minutes with the salt scrub on. Rinse off and pat dry.

This scrub has many benefits. The sea salt will open the pores and Epsom salt will pull toxins and restore magnesium. The essential oils and herbs give benefits to the skin.

I really liked this salt scrub. I used it on my body when I took a bath after dry brushing to help release toxins. I also use it on my hands. I love the scent and way it makes me feel.

Let me know if you try this out. Have you ever tried making your own homemade beauty products?
