How to Make Your Own Salt Scrub

Don't spend 47 dollars on that scented salt scrub. That's how much they're going for these days, right? No, no. Just buy some Morton's sea salt, get yourself a goblet--or even a bowl, it's just more satisfying to write 'goblet'--fish your baby oil out of the recesses of the black hole you like to call your bathroom drawer and you're on your way. The sum total of each slough-session is more like 47 cents.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• salt
• baby oil
• water
• goblet or bowl
• rosewater or vanilla

1. Pour a cup of sea or kosher salt in a container of some kind. I use Morton's kosher--the granules are large enough to have uber-sloughing powders, but not rocky enough to scrape my impossibly delicate dermis.
2. Squirt in about a half cup of the baby oil and swirl together. You might need a splash of water to give it a more malleable texture.
3. Take the whole concoction to the loo and have at it. If you want to feel less "pauper/skinflint" and more "home-spun/resourceful" you could add a little drip of vanilla extract or rosewater to enliven the olfactory experience of your scrub. When did I become such a freakin miser? I'm seeking therapy.
