Homemade Salt & Sugar Bath Scrub (Rose)
This week I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite Do it yourself's, a homemade salt and sugar bath scrub. Baths just so happens to be my all time favorite pastime after the kids are in bed, which is taking nice long relaxing baths :) I find baths to be not only soothing but also a great way to decompress and gather my thoughts at the end of a long day. Naturally I'm a huge sucker for bath scrubs, aromatherapy oils, bath bombs, I love them all! So given that, I thought I would share a great recipe to make your own handmade organic sugar and salt bath scrub, made from all natural ingredients. and since my favorite scent is rose, I like to use rose essential oils or lavender essential oils but feel to use whatever oils you like!
Salt Scrubs
- 1 cup of organic sea salt
- 1 cup of room temperature coconut oil {best when it has a liquid consistency}
- 30 drops of essential oil (I like rose but you can use lavender, peppermint, almond oil or whatever you like)
- 1/4 cup dried rose pedals or dried lavender (you can also skip this step)
Sugar Scrub
- 1/2 cup of organic raw sugar or 1/2 cup of organic cane sugar {tip: cane sugar is softer than the raw}
- 1/3 cup of organic sea salt
- 1 cup of coconut oil {best when it has a liquid consistency}
- 30 drops of essential oil
- 1/4 cup dried rose pedals or dried lavender (you can also skip this step)
Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl (I like to use my hands when mixing) and then scoop the mixture with a spoon into your favorite container. I bought these glass containers from the container store but you can use any container.
I hope you enjoy!
