GRAPEFRUIT MINERAL SALT SCRUB RECIPE - DIY October 17 2014, 1 Comment
I love this homemade body scrub and even make it up for friends when asked!
It's so relaxing due to the magnesium sulfate AKA Epsom Salts which helps with detoxification, muscle soreness and insomnia. Grapefruit and lavender essential oils are common ones most people have and have so many wonderful uses; the lavender is great for relaxation, stress relief, antiseptic to the skin and hydrating while the grapefruit is gently uplifting while being great for fluid retention and cellulite!!
Jojoba oil is a luxurious choice as the base oil because it's oh so wonderful on your skin plus it is not comedogenic (ie: wont clog your pores) and it also suitable for oily skin types.
HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT
1/2 cup Epsom salts
1/3 cup jojoba oil (or other oil you have)
5 drops of essential oil (3 grapefruit, 2 lavender)
THEN
In a non-reactive bowl stir all ingredients together and spoon into a glass jar (i recycle my coconut oil jars)
Store away from heat and preferably away from light, in the bathroom cupboard is perfect!
It will keep for months :)
Happy scrubbing ~ bet your pins look stunning for summer

The way we clean the blender is to leave it thetgoer and fill it at least half way with water (but not too full) and put 1 to 3 of drops of dish soap in it (depending on how dirty it is). Then put it back on the blender base and turn it on high. Rinse it (and clean the top if that didn’t get completely clean) and put it in the dish drain to dry! You never have to take the blender apart or mess with the sharp blade. That’s great that Dennis is making them for all of you!
