This grapefruit salt scrub will leave you feeling refreshed, smelling gorgeous and your skin silky soft. You will feel as though you have just walked out of a spa after applying this easy-to-make, all natural exfoliating scrub. I love the smell of grapefruit and this is definitely one of my favourites so i hope you enjoy. These scrubs are great for presents too so if you happen to find any nice jars with lids and some ribbon or burlap, then look no further for the perfect gift.

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 CUP OF EPSOM SALT

1/4 CUP BAKING SODA

JUICE OF 1/2 A GRAPEFRUIT

THE ZEST OF 1 GRAPEFRUIT

RED FOOD COLOURANT-If you want it to look more appealing

CITRUS ESSENTIAL OIL

GLASS JAR/CONTAINER WITH LID

DIRECTIONS:

MIX TOGETHER THE SALTS AND BAKING SODA

ADD 2 TBSP OF GRAPEFRUIT ZEST

SQUEEZE JUICE OF 1/2 A GRAPEFRUIT INTO IT

ADD 8-9 DROPS OF CITRUS OIL

STIR IN 1 DROP OF RED FOOD COLOURANT (OPTIONAL)

TRANSFER INTO THE JAR AND CLOSE LID FOR STORAGE

USE IN THE SHOWER OR BATH AS AN EXFOLIATOR

Another idea is to cover the lid of the jar with a nice lace or fabric and secure with a ribbon if you want to give as a gift. A framed printed label is a pretty touch aswell if you can design one on your computer and print it off. You could also tie on a mini wooden spoon for adding a spoon or 2 to the bath. Epsom salts are great for the skin and work well as a detoxing and calming bath salt too.

Im going to be making up lots of these homemade scrubs to try out as i go along since its my new addiction! Its a great way to pamper yourself at home and you can tell the difference in the texture of your skin. I’ll be keeping this one on my list of favourites though. Hope you like it!

Happy scrubbing!
