Homemade Sea Salt Exfoliating Scrub

Homemade sea salt exfoliating scrub packaged in a jar makes a beautiful gift.

Learning to make your own sea salt exfoliating scrub is relatively easy, and you may have all the ingredients in your own kitchen. Sea salt scrubs that are sold at spas and boutiques can be expensive. Not only can you save money by making your own sea salt scrub, you can wrap it up nicely as a holiday gift and spoil your friends.

Things You'll Need

• Sea salt
• Olive oil
• Essential oil for fragrance, such as lavender

Instructions

1. Mix 1 cup of sea salt with 1 cup of olive oil and three to five drops of essential oil for fragrance. Lavender works nicely because it is known for its calming and soothing properties.

2. Stir the mixture together gently, adding more salt or more oil, depending on what consistency you prefer for your scrub.

3. Apply the scrub using soft, circular motions all over your body. Massage gently.

4. Rinse yourself thoroughly in the shower afterward.

Tips & Warnings

• When making the scrub as a gift, package it in a glass jar with a lid and tie a ribbon on top. You can include a hand-written tag including the list of ingredients.
