MIY Make It Yourself - Mind Soothing - Skin Smoothing Salt Scrub

I love making salt scrubs at home. Firstly they're so easy to put together. A good quality salt - finely ground is best - some low scent cooking oil and essential oils of your choice and voila - you have your very own home-made exfoliant.

The wonderful sharp grittiness of salt crystals are particularly useful in smoothing rough areas like feet and elbows. Never use this type of scrub on your face or delicate skin.

Salt also has deeply detoxifying properties: Its trace minerals are natural purifiers that draw out pore-clogging toxins and relieve congestion.

The gentle circular rubbing action used while exfoliating invigorates the skin, promoting efficient circulation and healthy skin cell turnover.
