Homemade Detox Body Scrub

250ml container (if used daily and economically it can last up to two weeks)

• Fill 4/5 of the container with natural rock salt and 1/5 oatmeal
• Mix both ingredients before adding more or less 100ml baby oil and shake the container vigorously
• Add 20 drops of each of the following pure essential oils:  rosemary, peppermint and lemon grass

Cautions, alternatives and tips:

• Avoid face and neck as the skin is to sensitive in those area.
• Some say baby oil should not be used because it is not hydrating enough. I used it because it is cheap. Use any natural massage oil instead.
• If Rock salt is too harsh for your skin use sea salt, kosher salt, Epsom salts (All salts have detoxifying and muscle-relaxing properties).
• More gentle for the skin is sugar (white, brown, granulated sugar, sugar cane etc…); you could use 1/2 sugar and 1/2 salt.
• Instead of salt or sugar use coffee.
• Use a light container which  you can easily close tightly to use after your shower at the gym or swimming pool.
• Take into account your skin sensitivity and do not use ingredients that you are allergic to.
• It is not recommended to use daily. If you become addicted like me, use it every other day and use smaller amounts.
• Be creative and invent your own body scrub which suits your skin and spirit needs.
