DIY Salted Coconut Hand Scrub

I don’t understand why beauty companies charge unreasonably high prices for hand, foot and body scrubs. They are so easy and affordable to make in the comfort of your own home. I bet you already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen. This little beauty is perfect to pamper yourself with on a lazy Sunday.

Benefits

• Sea salt softens the skin and is a natural antiseptic. It’s perfect for removing dead skin cells without stripping away too much natural oil.
• Coconut oil hydrates, cleanses and moisturises your skin. It can also reduce the symptoms associated with eczema and psoriasis.
• Lemon juice is a natural exfoliant, it may lighten the skin and is good for moisturising and toning oily skin.

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
• 3 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil
• 3/4 Cup of Salt (Fine Ground)
• 1 Tablespoon of Rock Salt (Optional)

Steps

• Mix coconut oil, lemon juice and salt together.
• Scoop mixture with your hands and massage in light circular motions.
  
• Wash in warm water and pat dry.
• Store in a clean air tight container.

Note: Be careful if you use this in the shower! The coconut oil may leave your tub a little slippery.
