Salt scrubs can work wonders if you want smooth, hydrated skin. But some salt scrubs can range from $30-$90 a jar, so this beauty treatment can be hard to justify. Instead, make your own personalized salt scrub at home with this easy-to-follow recipe, and save big!To start: Mix together 3 cups Epsom salts and 1 cup olive oil (other oils will work as well) and mix until it is consistently blended. Next, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil (I prefer lavender oil for its soothing smell). Remember to start out with a tiny amount so you don’t make your scrub too potent. If you have sensitive skin, or would prefer a smoother scrub, use granulated sugar instead of the salt. Make sure to use this at the sink or while in your tub or shower. The salts will dissolve when rinsed thoroughly. Store the mixture upright in a sealed container.I tried this recipe several times and it’s great for dry skin around your knees and elbows, and it works beautifully on your hands for dry cuticles. You can also make several batches, put in pretty jars and give them to friends as gifts. I know I will be making several of these for birthday gifts!
