Body Salt Scrub

One of the keys to great skin is exfoliation. What many of us forget about is the skin on the rest of our body, below the face. Since the skin on our bodies is much more tough than that of our face, we can use more abrasive scrubs and exfoliating techniques. This scrub is a very simple one, but it is very abrasive. it is perfect for the hands, feet, legs, all those thick skinned places.


Salt Scrub



Ingredients:
Olive Oil
Salt
essential oils ( optional) I like lavender!

Preparation:

The measurements don't matter, you will mix the olive oil and salt together to a consistency that you like, more oil than salt is a must as the salt will absorb some of the oil. if you are adding essential oils, add them now. mix well. put into a jar or container with a tight fitting lid. this will keep indefinitely.

Now you have a scrub! you may also use sugar or brown sugar for a more soft exfoliation. use a little of the scrub for your exfoliation. Another trick you can do, is to wrap the skin with cling wrap and place a warm towel over it. the skin will absorb some of the oils and will make for great moisturization.

Gently rub the salt/oil over the skin in circles. then with warm water rinse it off.  The left over oils on the skin will help to moisturize the skin.


Voila! I hope that you enjoy this beauty recipe!
