how to make your essential oils salt scrub

I have one Salt Scrub from Body Shop, i only used it for few times and leave it aside for quite sometimes, today i was thinking to use it but i think i leave it too long and the properties changed.

So.. i thought why not i create my own Body Salt Scrub?

So, here’s my ingredients :-

3-5 drops of Lavender Essential Oils

3 drops of Peppermint Essential Oils

2 tea spoons of Grapeseed Oils (light type)

3-4 tea spoons of Himalayan Salt (fine type)

First i put the salts in a glass bowl, then i mix it with the grapeseed oils and the essential oils, finally i stir it evenly and  it all done! A Body scrub that refreshing and uplifting with antibacterial properties!

The above ingredients are suitable for one time use to avoid wastage, you can adjusts the volume of the ingredients or essential oils based on your preference, so keep on creative and make your own body scrub! If you want you can make more and put it in a jar.

The ingredients above you may purchase the grapeseed oil and Himalayan salt at organic shop, for essential oil it’s better to use Organic and Therapeutic Grade oil, i am using the brand Young Living as it is better grade and quality.

I think most of us in this current modern world are used to “Buy” whatever we need from the marketplace,  we seldom thought of use our creativity to create our own stuff.  Or is it too easy to get as long as we have money? Sometimes making your own can be more contentment. Of course you can make your own salt scrub as a birthday gift to your friends, it is eco friendly, and organic!

Creating something new is fun, it like a child found a new toy to play,  making use of what i currently have and transform it to something else is form of happiness. It is exciting, also stimulating my inspiration, creativity and joy.
