Salt scrubs are great for exfoliating rough skin. The coconut oil in this scrub softens while the salt exfoliates dry, dead skin. Himalayan salt detoxes the body, balances blood sugar, and helps decrease muscle cramping. This scrub is bound to leave you feeling refreshed, and your skin feeling much softer. With Mother’s Day approaching, this makes an excellent gift for the special women in your life—or just a nice pampering experience for yourself.

The life of this salt scrub depends on the shelf life of the individual ingredients. Storing the scrub in the fridge can increase the shelf life, but the coconut oil will solidify at cold temperatures. If you choose to refrigerate, you will need to soften the scrub by submerging the glass jar in warm water until softened for easier use.
You may also use sea salt instead of Himalayan salt if desired.
