Choose your base texture: Use 1 cup fine to medium Himalayan pink salt for a body scrub. If you have sensitive skin, mix half salt and half sugar for a gentler feel.
Add the oil: Stir in 1/3 to 1/2 cup carrier oil until the mixture looks like damp sand. Adjust to your preference: less oil for a drier scrub, more oil for richer moisture.
Boost with extras (optional): Add 1 tablespoon honey for extra softness, 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil for skin support, or 2 tablespoons aloe gel for a soothing, lighter feel.
Scent it: Add 8–12 drops essential oil per cup of scrub.
Try lavender for calming, orange for brightening, or eucalyptus for a fresh, spa-like vibe.
Mix well and jar it: Stir until evenly combined and spoon into a clean, dry jar. Wipe the rim and seal.
How to use: In the shower, scoop a small amount into your palm. On damp skin, massage in gentle circles for 30–60 seconds per area.
Rinse well and pat dry.
Where to use: Arms, legs, elbows, knees, hands, and feet. Avoid face, cuts, and freshly shaved skin, as salt can sting.
How often: Use 1–2 times per week for most skin types. If skin feels tender or tight, space it out more.
