How To Make Your Own Body Scrub!
How To Make Your Own Body Scrub - Simply!
This scrub would make a lovely gift! So you could double or triple the recipe if you want to make some for friends and family.
I have limited the recipe to as few suppliers as possible to save on time and shipping.
This recipe makes enough for one 142g/5oz tin/jar.
Equipment:
- Mixing Bowl
- Spoon
- Container (150g)
- Scales
- Small scales for essential oils (this is a good investment to accurately weigh essential oils for under £7 source = amazon.co.uk - Ascher portable digital pocket scale).
- A shot glass
Ingredients:
- 51g Pink Himalayan Crystal Salt – fine grain (source = www.mysticmoments.co.uk) or replace with Dead sea or more Epsom salts.
- 74g Epsom Fine Bath Salts (source = www.mysticmoments.co.uk)
- 13g Carrier oil; almond, apricot, etc (source = www.mysticmoments.co.uk)
- 1g ‘Preservative 12’ formaldehyde-free, palm free, vegan, biodegradable (source = aromantic.co.uk)
- 0.88g Coffee* roasted carrier oil, NOT fragrance oil (source = www.mysticmoments.co.uk)
- 0.66g Rosewood* essential oil
- 0.46g Bergamot* essential oil (source = www.mysticmoments.co.uk)
* Note: You can replace these essential oils with other single or combination oils such as Lavender, Lemongrass or other Citrus oils (lemon/lime/grapefruit) or anything else you like. Mint oils may be a little strong but great if you just want a foot scrub!
Method:
1. Weigh out salts into bowl.
2. Weigh out and add carrier oil and mix well.
3. Weigh out and add essential oils and mix well again.
4. Spoon into tin and that’s it!
Use, relax and enjoy.
