Why it works: The sea salt exfoliates, the baking soda deodorizes and the lime acts as an anti-bacterial agent. The coconut oil moisturizes, the peppermint reduces pain, and the sprigs of fresh rosemary add a natural fragrance.
- 1 cup Epsom salt
- 1 cup of sea salt, table grade
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- Zest of a lime
- Juice of a lime
- 3/4 cup of coconut oil
- 1/4-1/2 cup of canola oil, enough to allow blender to whip
- 4-6 sprigs of fresh rosemary
- Essential oil of peppermint
Mix sea salt and Epsom salt. Add lime zest, stir and pour into blender. Add coconut oil, canola oil, lime juice and rosemary sprigs. Mix for 60-90 seconds. Pour into a bowl and add baking soda. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. Add peppermint essential oil and mix. Store the scrub in a jar and use within a few weeks of making.
