Experience soft, smooth, silky skin in minutes
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:

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.

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.
