A few years ago I went on my first Spa retreat and it was amazing. I discovered salt scrubs and boy am I glad.
I used a special salt scrub to help remove all the dead skin from my body before spending time in a jacuzzi, having a facial and a massage.
It was part of blogging experience and one I will never forget.
Today on The Inspiration Edit we have a special recipe to make your very own Himalayan Salt scrub using essential oils.
I do hope you enjoy this and find it super useful. Relax and enjoy.

How To Make An Essential Oils Himalayan Salt Scrub
In a large bowl, add salt.
Place the coconut oil in the microwave until melted.
Then add the coconut oil. To the bowl.
Mix together until a thick paste is formed.
Next, add in your *Sweet Almond Oil.
Add in your essential oils. I added two to complement one another.
Next, add your colouring. Stir until mixture is well blended and fluffy.
Store in an air-tight container until ready to use.
When using essential oils on your skin, it is a good idea to use a carrier oil that is recommended to pair with them.
I used the Sweet Almond Oil, but you can use whatever is available in the essential oil section of the store you shop with.

I am always looking for new gift ideas that I can make, I am going to add this to my list. Thanks.
Oh my word, those little jars with the attached spoon are so cute!
This looks so pretty, and like the perfect gift to give too! Great share!
I’ve heard great things about essential oils!
Omg, Angela, what a fun idea for a DIY!!!! It literally never would have occurred to me to make something like this, so THANK YOU! I have friends who are super into the oils and have started selling them, so now I know which ones to be on the lookout for! 🙂
Yes, it’s a fun thing to make at home and the kids would enjoy it too. I think DIY and making our own things for the home or as a gift is always fun!
Love these, would be great to make as gifts.
