I was out of fresh ginger and limes (and way to lazy to run to the store!) so I just used the salt and oil. I actually tweaked it a little, and used 1 cup of salt and 3/4 cup oil, with a splash of vanilla for the scent. It was wonderful! Just as good as any over-priced store-bought scrub. For my next batch I"ll be using the ginger and lime. Thanks a bunch!!

One of my hobbies is making soaps and bath products. Had to make this when I saw the recipe. My elbows have rough skin and sometimes wearing a cardigan or jumper it can be very painful. I have used this on my elbows (and feet) for three days and my elbows have improved so much I can't believe it, I have tried many creams but they never made a difference. The ginger I grated, the first batch I made with sunflower oil but made a second as a gift for a friend and used olive oil, I tried some of that and when I make my next scrub it will be with olive oil. I also used the lime zest, not just because it looks nice but because it contains oil.

This feels and smells wonderful! I did have to add quite a bit more salt, almost double, to make it thick enough for me. I also added some lime zest for color. This is going in many gift baskets this holiday. LeeAnn
