Simple Salt Scrub

This is great for those rough areas like heels, elbows, even legs and arms

 When using salts for bath salts, I like to use sea salt for its purity and minerals.  Sea salt is formed from surface evaporation, naturally, while most table salts are made by vacuum pan evaporation.  To use fresh or dry herbs is fine instead of essential oils.  Just be sure to crush them to release their oils before adding to the salt scrub. 

Mix together:
3 tablespoons or so of sea salt,
1 tablespoon Epsom salt & enough base oil to make a paste (olive, almond, grapeseed, apricot, jojoba, sunflower, etc.). 
Now add a few drops essential oil of your choice or 1 tablespoon minced fresh bath herb or 2 teaspoons dry, minced also. 

Rub on wet skin (avoid face) and scrub.  Then rinse off.
