Citrus Whipped Butter Salt Scrub
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup fine ground Himalayan pink salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (solid works best)
- 1/2 cup shea butter
- 10 drops lemon essential oil (also could use orange or grapefruit)
Directions: Beat shea butter using a mixer on medium until blended. If shea butter is too hard microwave for a few seconds to soften, but don’t melt. Add in coconut oil gradually and blend fully with each addition. Add Himalayan salt and essential oil and mix on low or using a a spatula.
This recipe is super creamy, extra moisturizing, and fantastic for dry skin! The Himalayan pink salt gives it a little grit to polish away those dry areas. Shea butter is rich in vitamins A, E, and F and is known to protect the natural skin barrier and improve skin elasticity. The coconut oil will seal in the moisture, and the lemon essential oil is rich in antioxidants!
Jojoba, olive, sweet almond, grapeseed or your other favorite carrier oils can be substituted in these recipes.
You can experiment with the amounts of oil and salt based upon your preference. Or even cut the recipes in half if you’d like!
If you plan on shaving, do it AFTER you use the scrub, and you will notice a smoother shave. Do not shave before using the scrub or it may burn.
Use your salt scrub once or twice a week for glowing, healthy, beautiful skin!
