Aromatherapy Salt Glow

Recipe #284908 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Busy Lindsay
Feb 7, 2008

This will make your skin feel amazingly soft and smooth! I typically use Geranium and Lemongrass oil for this but zaar didn't recognize Geranium; Lavender will work well though. I've read in Aromatherapy books that Lemongrass fights fungi and is used for some skin disorders. It also helps with muscle aches and revitalizes, however it can cause skin iritation in some people so you may want to first try it with less of the lemongrass oil or skip it. If you are pregnant, just use the salt and olive oil.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small plastic or glass mixing bowl combine salt and oils.
  2. 2
    Mix with hands or plastic spoon. Add more salt or olive oil a little at a time if neccessary to obtain desired consistancy.
  3. 3
    While standing on a towel (to catch falling salt and oil), rub salt mixture gently on skin (arms, legs, stomach, back). You can concentrate on rough skin areas if desired (like elbows and heels) and be careful or skip sensative skin areas.
  4. 4
    Take a shower and rinse off salt scrub - careful the tub wil be slippery! Use a shower poof or washcolth and some mild soap to help remove the excess oil.
