DIY Salt Scrub

Summer is approaching fast, and temperatures are rising daily. In my area the temperature is topping out at 80 degrees today. That definitely deserves a special scrub that will help me cool down. This delightfully refreshing DIY salt scrub combines the hydrating and soothing power of cool cucumber with an uplifting and stimulating dose of mint.

Shea butter and sunflower oil add moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties to the scrub, leaving your skin feeling and looking younger than ever before. And aloe vera oil prevents premature aging, promotes clear skin, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, and age spots, and soothes sunburned skin—something that will come in handy during the hot summer months.

For its exfoliating properties, I use mineral-rich Dead Sea salt. It cleanses and disinfects, soothes inflammation, promotes youthful skin as well as improve your skin’s health.

Makes about 4 ounces

The combination of cucumber, mint, and aloe gives a light, refreshing, and cool summery DIY salt scrub.

Ingredients

DIY Salt Scrub

4 ounces Dead Sea Salt
1 ounce Sunflower Oil
0.4 ounces Shea Butter
0.2 ounces Aloe Vera Oil
1.2 mL Cucumber Mint Fragrance Oil
6 drops Vitamin E Oil
1/2 mini scoop Green Mica Colorant (totally optional and mostly just for the color effect if giving as a gift)

All these ingredients are available on Amazon.

Directions

In a double boiler, heat shea butter on low until melted. Add sunflower oil and aloe vera oil. Whisk the mixture until blended.
Add salt to a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter/oils over the salt, mixing well to fully combine the ingredients.
Add cucumber mint fragrance oil and vitamin E oil. Stir well.
Sprinkle green mica colorant over mixture and stir in to fully incorporate the color.
Place bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the mixture starts to thicken. This step intensifies your scrub’s coolness. Brrr!
Remove and stir to blend in all the ingredients fully. Mixture should be thick enough so there’s no separation of oils.

How To Use

Apply a few scoops onto wet skin and gently massage in a circular motion. Rinse off with warm water.

Note: This is an oil scrub and will be slippery when used in the tub or shower. Please be careful. Also do not use if your skin has any cuts or open wounds as the salt will sting. Ouch!
