Body Salt Scrub Recipe

Tingly-fresh citrus perppermint homemade body scrub - a super acne body scrub recipe

Plus the fresh, energizing scent of this homemade body scrub recipe will wake up your mind, boost your energy and lift your mood - a winner!

This is an excellent acne body scrub - it cleanses and balances normal and oily, acne-prone skin, helping to reduce over-active oil production.

(It's not the best choice for dry skin, however - try the oatmeal body scrub or the brown sugar body scrub if you have dry, sensitive or problem skin.)

Added Bonus: Scrubbing away dead skin cells helps remove toxins and junk from your system, which in turn helps keep you healthy. (Salt is also a natural detoxifier. Click here to learn more about types of salt and their healing properties - it's surprisingly interesting!)

Citrus Peppermint Body Salt Scrub Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (110g) Sea Salt
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) Grapeseed or other carrier oil of your choice

• 1 to 2 teaspoons Aloe Vera gel, depending on how moist you like your scrub
• 8 drops Sweet Orange essential oil
• 5 drops Peppermint essential oil
• 2 drops Rosemary essential oil

Directions

1. Using a metal spoon, stir together salt and oil in a glass or ceramic bowl (or even the jar you intend to keep it in - remember to use dark glass or PET plastic.)
2. Drop in the essential oils, placing each drop in its own little spot on top of the body salt scrub mixture. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
3. To use, take a quick, warm shower to wet your skin. Standing in the bathtub, massage the body salt scrub into your skin using gentle circular motions until your skin is rosy from the increased circulation.
4. Rinse off under the shower, towel dry and moisturize.

Do not use body scrub salt recipes on broken or irritated skin, and avoid your face and genitals.

Secret Weapon for Incredible Skin

Here's a great secret for incredibly soft, smooth skin.

After you're done exfoliating, step out of the shower and wrap your hair in a towel but DON'T DRY OFF. Before you dry off, rub a body oil into your wet skin. (By the time you're done, your skin will have absorbed the oil, so your towel won't get all oily.)

That's it! Simple, quick and totally effective!
