I have noticed that as I get older, my skin is not as soft and luminous as it was in my early twenties (funny how that works). I don’t think I realized how much my skin had transformed over the past several years, until I had Elle. Let me tell you… her skin is gorgeous. It hasn’t been exposed to excessive sun damage, harmful lotions or general wear and tear of life… it’s just beautiful. I am admittedly envious of her complexion, and although I know I will never attain perfectly flawless skin (short of photoshopping myself), there are a few home remedies that can help me get a little bit closer.
I have come up with a great regimen for my facial skin, using the Oil Cleansing Method, and I moisturize the rest of my skin using homemade lotion bars, but I still feel like a need a little more help to exfoliate and rejuvenate my skin.
The solution? Homemade sea salt scrubs!
Homemade sea salt scrubs are all natural and made up of only a few nourishing ingredients that will help rid your body of dead skin cells, and moisturize, leaving it looking radiant and healthy. Below is a simple recipe for a homemade sea salt scrub that is easily whipped up in only a minute or two. It should last pretty much indefinitely, as long as you don’t expose any germs into the mix.

This sounds like a great scrub. I love the way honey makes my skin feel. I will have to give this a try. I think it would be a great gift also.
So glad to find this recipe! I’ve been looking into making salt scrubs for gifts this year.
This looks really nice. I’m going to have to try it as soon as I get some space again for extras in the bathroom and have a pampering night!
I will have to try this.. I know my skin is not as young as it used to be, and can really use something like this.
