Tips:

  • Choose the right salt: Sea salt or Epsom salt are great options for a body scrub, as they are both gentle on the skin and provide exfoliating benefits.
  • Use fresh citrus fruits: The zest and juice of fresh citrus fruits, such as lemons, oranges, and grapefruits, add a refreshing and invigorating scent to the scrub.
  • Add essential oils: Essential oils, such as lemon, orange, or grapefruit oil, can also be added to the scrub for an extra boost of fragrance and potential therapeutic benefits.
  • Adjust the oil content: The amount of oil in the scrub can be adjusted to suit your skin type. For oily skin, use less oil. For dry skin, use more oil.
  • Store the scrub properly: Store the scrub in a cool, dark place. It can be kept for up to two weeks.
