Assemble all your ingredients. I find it much more enjoyable if I do not have to run around the house looking for this and that.
1/2 cup of salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup of oil
8 to 12 drops of essential oil
In a glass, metal or enamel bowl add
1/2 cup of your salt of choice. You may mix and match your salts in this recipe. These recipes are very forgiving so don't feel like you can't make it because you do not have the exact amounts of ingredients listed.
Measure your oil. Start with about 1/4 a cup of your choice of oil, again you may mix and match your oils. Different oils do different things for your skin. If you are exstremly dry during the winter months use Almond oil or Avacodo oil. These two oils are very moisturizing. If your skin is not extremly dry and you just want smooth silky skin after your bath use Olive oil.
Pour your oil into the bowl with the salt and mix till the oil is fully incorporated into the salt. Does it look too dry?? Add some more oil....You want a nice even amount of oil and salt so that when you scoop your Bath Scrub out of your containor the oil does'nt drip all over the place.
When the salt and oil are of the consistancy that you want add your essential oil. Lavender just happens to be my favorite so I use it alot. You may use whatever essential oils you have on hand or just whatever scent you like.
When your done mixing in your scent you may pour your Scrub into a pretty widemouth jar. I like to use the small half pint mason jars. The opening is just right.. Or you may use whatever pretty jar you have on hand as long as there is a lid.
Use your scoop or spoon to remove the amount of scrub you will use during your shower or bath. Because we are making a natural bath product there are no additives or preservatives to prevent bacteria from forming so care must be taken as to not to introduce any bacteria into your container of Salt Scrub.
Your Scrub will last about a month on a counter or indefinatly in the refridgerator.
ENJOY!!
