Soft scrub skin#
But, of course, there are skin benefits to many herbs and flowers too! For example, I used dried lavandin flowers in this recipe. They add a lovely scent that isn’t too overpowering and make the scrub look beautiful. Herbs/Flowers: Dried herbs or flower buds are a great addition to this scrub.I like to add one tablespoon of it to this salt scrub for added moisture. Olive oil: Olive oil is very conditioning and absorbs deep into the skin.This basic recipe is great all on its own, but sometimes I add other oils, herbs, or essential oils. Mix the salt scrub well and store it in an air-tight container or glass jar. Other good salt choices are Redmond sea salt, dead sea salt, or french grey sea salt. I like to use Epsom salts because they’re an excellent source of magnesium, and I feel so relaxed when I use them on my feet after a long day. Next, you’re going to mix 1/4 cup of soft coconut oil with 1/2 cup of salt. If it’s solid, you’ll need to warm it up on the stovetop gently. To get started, you’ll want to check your coconut oil to see if it’s soft (room temperature) or solid. Avoid using this kind of scrub on your face or any sensitive area. When it comes to using a scrub for your face, salt scrubs are not a good choice. In this case, a sugar scrub would be a better option since it’s less abrasive. However, for some skin types, salt is too rough to be used on the whole body.

Sugar ScrubĪ salt scrub is usually more abrasive and should only be used on the body or the feet and hands. I prefer to use salt scrubs on my feet, hands, and any areas of my skin that may have a callus (sometimes knees or elbows). Salt scrubs tend to be more abrasive than sugar scrubs and are best used for dry, challenging and damaged skin. Salt scrubs are an exfoliating product made with various types of salts and usually a carrier oil to moisturize the skin. Not only are they great for the skin, but they’re also safe and non-toxic. Salt and sugar scrubs are some of the best DIY skincare recipes that anyone can make and use at home.
