        Make Your Own Quick and Easy Salt Scrubs That Work

 

My skin is normally very dry, rough and scaly. However, since I discovered sea salt body scrubs, my skin has transformed. I can't believe how magical these simple treatments are and how fast they work.  All you need to do is moisten your skin with warm water while standing in the shower or relaxing in a warm bath. Next, take a small amount of moisturized salt scrub and apply it to you skin and rub in a circular motion to exfoliate the dead dry cells. Your fresh new skin layer will soak up the moisturizing oils that  have been added to the salt scrub, and leave your skin soft, so smooth, and so silky that you will look forward to doing this once or twice a week. It takes about three- four  minutes to do your arms,  legs and feet.  Salt also helps remove toxins.  Leave it on for about 30 seconds to allow your body to help detoxify your largest organ- your skin . Exfoliating with salt scrubs is truly a pleasurable experience that leaves both your  mind and body feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated. ( and you will never have to use lotion on your arms and legs)

Disclaimer: Please be sensible, if you have allergies or sensitive skin,  consult your doctor before using any of these salt scrubs.

Tip: Exfoliate before shaving your legs and you will get a knick free and much closer shave.

A basic salt scrub recipe consists of these basic components:

1 part oil
1 part abrasive (salt, sugar, ground oatmeal, ground almonds, coffee grounds .)
3 to 5 drops of fragranced essential aromatherapy oil

Choose your essential oil for variety of effects:
 
Vanilla : for a soothing effect
Orange, lime, tangerine or lemon: For an uplifting effect.
Rosemary, eucalyptus or peppermint: For clearing out the sinuses and stimulating the body
Cinnamon or clove: For improving circulation
Rose, jasmine : for a romantic floral scrub.
Geranium: For balancing your mood.
Lavender: For promoting relaxation.
 
Visit the health food store for a large variety of fragrance choices; a bottle will last a very long time.

 

Here are a few simple recipes for salt scrubs to get your started; If you are interested in more natural beauty  Ideas sign up for one of our winter workshops.


 

Lemon Salt Glow

Sea salt detoxifies and exfoliates dry dull skin to allow the skin to then absorb the rich nutrients in the sweet almond oil

  • ½ cup sea salt or kosher salt ( ground finer)
  • ½ cup sweet almond oil ( purchase at health food store)
  • Three drops of essential oil fragrance ( health food store) or grate 1/4 teaspoon of organic lemon peel

Mix all ingredients in a dry container ( water will dissolve the salt) .  Store in an airtight container. If you wish to make larger batches, double the recipe and add a 1/2 teaspoon of Vitamin E ( pierce a capsule). The Vitamin E is a natural preservative.


This is a highly moisturizing scrub

Herbal Salt Scrub
2 cups sea salt
1/2 cup almond oil ( health store)
1/2 cup macadamia nut oil ( health food store)
1 tsp. vitamin E ( pierce a capsule or two)
1 tb. dried, ground lavender, rosemary, mint
1-3 drops of fragranced essential oils


 

Dead Sea Mineral Salt Scrub
2 and 1/2 cups Dead Sea Salt 
1/2 cup almond oil ( health store)
1/2 cup macadamia nut oil ( health food store)
1 tsp. vitamin E ( pierce a capsule or two)
1/8 cup extra virgin coconut oil
2-4 drops of fragranced aromatherapy essential oil of choice

The salt of the Dead Sea in Israel is very rich in mineral content. Dead Sea Salt ( not to be used for consumption)  perhaps contains 10 times greater the amount of minerals than regular sea salt. These minerals help the body detoxify, cleanse and restore. It is good for both the skin and muscles.
