Homemade Mint Charcoal Body Scrub
Ingredients:
1 cup sea salt
10-15 drops peppermint essential oil.
Directions for Homemade Mint Charcoal Body Scrub:Â
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
Continue stirring until everything is well combined. Â If you like a looser scrub you can add additional coconut oil.
Add essential oil to your desired scent strength.
Transfer to a glass jar with a secure fitting lid and store out of the direct spray of water.
To use the scrub you just scoop out a generous amount with your fingers and rub over damp skin, if you can let it sit on your skin out of the way of the water spray even better for absorbing moisture and expelling toxins. Rinse away then pat skin gently dry.
*It is always a good idea to test new products out on a small area of skin first, while these are natural ingredients, you may still be sensitive to them.
