To DIY For: Sea Salt Body Scrub

In the past weeks, we’ve covered fun DIYs for the face, lips and hair. What’s left? The body!

It’s still winter, so if you’re experiencing dry and flaky skin like me, this is the perfect remedy. Once again, I’ve kept it super simple so that it’s not intimidating. It’s so easy to make and incredibly effective, you’ll be baby smooth in no time.
 
What you’ll need (1 application):
  • Bowl or jar
  • Spoon
  • 1 cup of course sea salt
  • ½ cup of baby oil

Here’s what you do:

1. Mix and stir the sea salt and baby oil.
2. Massage onto the skin paying close attention to the spots that need a little more TLC like elbows, knees and feet.
3. Rinse well with warm water. No need for body wash.
4. Pat yourself dry.

Additional Options:

  • Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils for a little aromatherapy.
  • Let your scrub sit for a day if you’d like a ‘gentler’ exfoliation.
  • Make a few days worth and leave by your sink to use as a nightly hand exfoliator.

It’s amazing what a little sea salt and baby oil could do for your skin! Try this at home and you’ll love the way your skin smells and feels baby soft.

Until next time, stay pretty… inside and out.
