How to Make a Sea Salt, Lemon and Lavender Body Scrub

A sea salt, lemon and lavender body scrub exfoliates the skin, leaving you feeling healthy, hydrated and younger. This all natural product will save you the money of having to buy retail products and an expensive spa treatment. This formula makes about one cup of body scrub, but you can easily double or triple the amount.

Things You'll Need

• 8 tablespoons sea salt
• 2 teaspoons lemon rind
• 2 teaspoons rose flower water
• Food processor
• Mixing bowl
• 8 drops lavender essential oil
• Wooden spoon

Instructions

1. Combine the sea salt, lemon rind and rose flower water in a food processor, and process on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer the contents to a small mixing bowl.

2. Add the lavender essential oil to the mixing bowl and stir with a wooden spoon. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand for one hour at room temperature.

3. Pour the finished mixture into a small wide-mouthed glass jar, and store in the refrigerator until needed.

Tips & Warnings

• To use, rub the mixture on the skin in the bathtub or shower. Leave the body scrub on for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse with cool water.
