How to Make Epsom Salt Body Scrub at Home

Do you despise those ridiculously high priced, but miniscule bottles of body scrubs at the beauty supply stores? Do you crave for a good scrub without having to see those exaggerated claims? I too did, and that’s why I decided to make this awesome one for myself at home. So today, I am sharing this method to make it with you all and you can mark my words – it works wonders on the skin!

You Need:

• Epsom Salt
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
• Honey
• Essential Oils (I used Lavender and Lemongrass essential oils)
• Vitamin E Capsule
• Empty container to store the scrub

Steps to Prepare The Scrub:

Step 1: Spread a thin layer of salt at the bottom of the container and cover it with olive oil.

Step 2: Then, add half table spoon of honey and two capsules of Vitamin E to this.

Step 3: Once done, add a few drops of essential oils and this finishes the first layer.

Step 4: Repeat step 1 to 3 and keep adding layers till the container is full.

Step 5: One can keep the layers as it is and dig out the product every time one needs to use or gently mix the ingredients with a spoon. Add more oil or salt as required, to get the desired consistency.

How to Use:

1. Wash legs with warm water.
2. Take generous amount of scrub and start massaging on your legs in circular motion – this will relieve all the stress and reduce ingrown hair too.
3. Scrub with firm hands, but not to the point where it hurts or irritates the skin.
4. Once done, use exfoliating gloves to massage some more on the skin and then wash off with warm water.

5. Take some body wash and wash off excessive oil with a loofah.
6. Now, this point is optional. Spread shaving lotion on legs and use a good razor to shave off the hair.
7. Wash once more and pat dry.
8. Then, slather on some sunscreen lotion or use this ‘Homemade Shimmer Lotion’.

Benefits:

• Removes dead skin cells.
• Nourishes the skin.
• Incredibly smooth skin.
• Makes shaving process easier.
• Reduces the chances of getting ingrown hair.
• Shimmer lotion induces a beautiful sheen.

This process isn’t as complicated and time consuming as it seems. And believe me, you’ll love the results. This is an inexpensive and good substitute for all those expensive body scrubs we all covet but dare not buy. Also, how can we forget, it is super easy to make!
