Today's beauty blog is also this weeks DIY Project for the week. How to make your own body scrub. Going to the spa for a body scrub on average will cost about $100- $200 depending on duration of treatment and style but why not enjoy that spa treatment in the comfort of your home for an average cost of $30 - $60 So here's what you'll need:
2 cups Epsom salts
5-10 drops oil (we like a neutral oil, like grape seed)
To make: Gradually add drops of oil to the salts, mixing gently with a wooden
spoon. If your skin is on the drier side (or you'd like to make a thick scrub),
add more oil. Store in a clean, dry jar with a lid.
Zesty Bath Salt Soak
2 cups Epsom salts
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
8 drops lemon essential oil (Note: Essential oils can frequently be
found in the natural foods section of larger grocery stores)
To make: Add the zest to the salts, gently mixing by hand to evenly
distribute. Then, add in a drop of lemon essential oil until you reach your
desired scent level. If you added too much, add an unscented oil to create a
thick scrub. Store in a clean, dry jar with a lid.
Relaxing Bath Salt Mix
1 cup Epsom salts
1 cup sea salt
10 drops lavender essential oil
Optional: 1-2 tablespoons dried lavender buds,
chopped or crushed (Note: If adding buds, make sure your bathtub has a fitted
mesh drain sieve to prevent clogs)
To make: Combine the salts and (optional) lavender buds. Add in the lavender
essential oil drop by drop until you achieve your desired scent level. Store in
a clean, dry jar with a lid.
