SALT SCRUB FOR THE TUB

It's time to relax, take a deep breath, and make your skin silky smooth.

WHAT TO MAKE: Organic Lavender Sea Salt Scrub 

RECIPE:
  • 1 Cup Fine Sea Salt (don't use simple iodized table salt)
  • 1/2 Cup Grapeseed Oil or Sweet Almond Oil (i used grapeseed oil which gives it a green tint... almond oil won't give it a green tint)
  • 1Tbl dried lavender ( i got mine at Earth Fare for 46 cents)
  • 16 drops lavender oil 
  • Jar with sealable lid
  • Spoon 
  • Measuring Cups 
  • Scoop
This is what you need... You can find the sea salt at Earth Fare for $4, the oil for $8, and lavender buds for 46 cents. I already had the lavender oil but if you have to buy it, it costs around $8. And you'll have leftovers so you can double the recipe or make more later!

STEPS:
After you add the grapeseed oil, look at the
consistency and add more oil if needed.
  1. Grab your jar and add the sea salt.
  2. Now, add the oil.
  3. Stir.
  4. Add lavender buds.
  5. Add lavender oil.
  6. Stir.
  7. Seal the jar lid and let sit for one hour.
  8. Add the scoop, jump in the tub, and enjoy.


Add lavender buds, this will give the salt scrub more aroma
and color. I got the buds in the bath section of Earth Fare,
just get a tablespoon and it won't be expensive.

Add lavender oil for a soothing and relaxing
aroma.

 
I wrapped hemp around my jar to finish it off.

Add a scoop so you can easily scoop out the salt scrub.

HINT: I put hemp around my jar and tied a pretty bow. This gives the salt scrub and jar a complete and classic organic feel.

IDEA: You can use smaller jars, fill them completely up, tie hemp around the jar, and give the salt scrub as a gift... someone's birthday, mother's day, or if you are so excited you can't wait, you could be extra nice and give an Easter gift.

Have fun and enjoy.
