I’m back, as promised, with these yummy and simple DIY salt scrub recipes.

Last week I shared 3 sugar scrub recipes with you all. Insanely easy recipes I might add.
If you missed them, you can read about them here… 3 Simple DIY Sugar Scrub Recipes.

Today I’m sharing 2 salt scrubs, both made with Pink Himalayan Salt.
And both also insanely easy to make!
Just like I like it and I know you do too. :)

The first salt scrub recipe is Ginger & Grapefruit and below are some of the ingredients.

MATERIALS LIST:

Pink Himalayan Salt
Essential Oils 
Coconut Oil
Glycerin
Vitamin E (you can use vitamin e capsules)
Avocado Oil
Jojoba Oil
Glass Jars

………………………………………………………………………………………….

So, do you remember how easy it was to just mix and be done for the sugar scrubs?
Well, it’s basically the same exact thing with these. Yay!

I poured the salt into the bowl and added approximately 1 tsp of freshly grated Ginger for this batch.

Then I also ground up some Frankincense Resin to put into this particular scrub.
Both have properties that benefit the skin.

By the way, that resin smells amazing!

I mixed the oils in (I used equal parts of Avocado, Jojoba and Coconut for both scrubs).
Next I added in the essential oils, I used Grapefruit and Lemon, plus the Glycerin and Vitamin E.
Stirred well and scooped it into my jar.
I found this jar with the spoon on the side at a craft supply store.
I thought it was pretty cool…and perfect for the scrub.

I also created and printed a label for the front.

Mmm, yum.
It smells so invigorating with all of those lingering scents of Frankicense, Ginger, Grapefruit and Lemon.

The other salt scrub recipe is Citrus & Poppyseeds.

I did everything the same except I added about a tablespoon of Poppyseeds to this one.
Lemon, Orange or Grapefruit zest might be a nice addition too.

I created and printed a pretty label for this one too but used clear printer paper instead.
I really love this big jar with the screw top lid.

Doesn’t it look almost edible? Yes, it does but probably wouldn’t taste so good!

    1. Hi Nancy,

      Hmm, I don’t have a date but I would think they would last a pretty good while since they are made with sugar and/or salt. Both have natural preservative properties.
      Hope that helps! :)

  1. If I add grapefruit and ginger and want a longer shelf life, should I add a preservative? If no preservative is added, what is the shelf life for the grapefruit and ginger receipe?

    1. Hi Cheryl, you can add Grapefruit Seed Extract, Vitamin E or Rosemary extract to help with shelf life. I would say without, probably a few months as long as no water is introduced.

  2. I’m lookong forward to trying this recipe. ?i do have 2 questions:
    1. When you say “add 1 T poppyseeds” is this a Teaspoon or a Tablespoon??
    2. Does this need to be refrigerated?
    Thanks!

    1. That would be T for tablespoons, Christine! Sorry about that! No, they really don’t need to be refrigerated. Enjoy! :)
