This is the easiest scrub recipe around and probably the best. I've made lots of different scrubs and tested many recipes but always come back to the basic one because it works best. Makes incredible gifts!
- 1 cup sea salt (fine)
- 1/2 cup light oil (a combination of grapeseed and almond is good)
- 1/2 tsp vitamin E (you can break open capsules)
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp essential oils or fragrance
- 1 tbsp dried herbs or flowers (optional)
Place everything in a bowl and stir well. Store in glass jars (recycled baby food jars, caning jars, spice jars...) You can use a few drops of food colouring but I like to keep it natural looking!
Ideas:
- 1/8 tsp. lavender and 1/8 tsp. clary sage with dried lavender for a stress relief blend)
- 1/8 tsp. cinnamon essential oil 1/4 tsp. orange EO for a circulation blend.
- 1/8 tsp. Rosemary and 1/8 tsp. Peppermint for an invigorating blend (with dried mint leaves)
- 1/8 tsp. ylang ylang and 1/8 tsp. patchouli for an aphrodesiac blend (with dried rose petals)
