Every natural scrub starts with a base of an oil plus an exfoliator. This recipe uses olive oil and grapeseed oil. The olive oil is rich and sinks into skin easily to provide lots of moisture. Grapeseed oil is a little bit lighter but is also absorbed quickly by the skin. These two oils nourish your skin even after you rinse off the scrub. You don’t even really need to use moisturizer afterward!

The exfoliator in this recipe is sea salt. It’s relatively coarse so it easily polishes off dry, flaky skin to reveal healthy glowing skin. It’s also not too harsh because the sea salt dissolves within a fairly short amount of time. I find it provides the perfect balance of being coarse without being too rough.

Now for my favourite part! The refreshing and invigorating scent! Grapefruit essential oil has a zesty and bright scent. It’s great for boosting your mood and for waking you up in the morning. The mint essential oil is cooling and refreshing. It awakens the senses and pairs perfectly with the tart grapefruit oil.

Make this scrub to treat yourself or make it as a thoughtful gift to pamper a friend!

Sea Salt Scrub Ingredients:

1 cup of sea salt

1/4 cup of olive oil

1/4 cup of grapeseed oil

10 drops of peppermint essential oil

50 drops of grapefruit essential oil

Directions:

Stir all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. I don’t recommend glass because it’s risky keeping a glass jar in or near your shower where it can fall and break.

To use, massage in circular motions on damp skin and rinse off.
