Dead Sea Salt Scrub Recipe
Transform your shower into a spa! Learn how to make a dead sea salt scrub with this simple recipe, perfect for exfoliating and revitalizing your skin.
Servings: 6 ounces
Equipment
- Airtight container
Ingredients
- ½ cup 4.5oz of dead sea salt
- 2 tbsp 0.5 oz of shea butter
- ⅛ cup 0.5 oz of sweet almond oil
- ⅛ cup 0.5 oz of argan oil
- 1 tsp of poppy seeds
- 20 drops grapefruit essential oil for fragrance optional
Instructions
- Melt the butter and oils together on low-medium heat in a pan on the stove.
- Add the salt to the container you’re planning to store it in.
- Pour the melted oils over the salt.
- Stir together well.
- Then, stir in poppy seeds.
- Add the fragrance oils and mix in well.
- Stir it up again to break the salt mix up loose once it cools.
- To use: Wet your skin with warm water, then massage the scrub in a circular motion into the dead skin. Allow the scrub to remain on your skin for a few minutes, then rinse and dry. Finish with a good skin moisturizer, such as homemade body butter.
Notes
Use caution when using this in the tub, as the oils will make the floor slippery.
This scrub is to be used only on the body. Avoid delicate areas and the face. If you want a scrub for the face, try this sugar scrub recipe.
Do not use on broken, sore, or irritated skin. Always do a patch test first to see how your skin responds before use.
Use weekly or as needed.
While the poppy seeds do provide minimal exfoliation, I included them mostly for the way they look. Feel free to leave them out!
Store in an airtight container, such as a glass screw-top jar.
