Last winter I splurged and bought myself a luscious salt scrub. My family and I promptly used it up and when I went went to purchase another I realized that I could feed us all dinner for days for about the same amount. For some reason, whatever thread of restraint that exists in my body showed itself and I put it back on the shelf. Of course, I was already addicted to the stuff and got to thinking about what it would take to make it on my own, not much. So I went to my favorite, health food store...3rd Street Market, if you are in the Flathead Valley, and for a fraction of the cost got what I needed.
What you need...
Organic Coconut Oil
Organic Sea Salt
Lavender Essential Oil, or another oil of choice, or not...
What to do...
Heat the coconut oil in a pot of hot water, still in the jar and put the salt in a large mixing bowl. When the oil has liquefied, stir in enough to cover all the salt and add essential oils to your liking. Spoon the mixture into a large mouth mason jar or whatever extra container is available and use frequently!
Substitute almond oil or cocoa butter for the coconut oil if you wish. I have added fresh lavender from my garden and other small flowers, violets or another fragrant flower are really pretty if you don't mind them in your drain. This is a great, EASY, moisturizing exfoliate and makes a wonderful gift.
