OH MY GOOOD.
Normally i don't have a sensitive skin. I tried it instead of my usual scrub and OMG. My face is super-super-super red as a tomato, it burns, tights.. I feel like i have a face in some fire!!!! Oh my god, how could i do that!

I've been trying to use more DIY/homemade/organic skincare products, where possible. Salt is handy because it's in everyone's kitchen and it's so cheap and versatile, yet so effective!


The exfoliating properties of salt are amazing and the amount of beauty 'recipes' I can concoct with this one product is amazing. I use it on its on, or mixed with oils and it gives the most wonderful exfoliation for my back!


If you haven't used salt, try it!

Fantastic as a face and body scrub but the trick is to not over do it. My skin can tolerate exfoliation quite well, it seems that I have a high cell turn over rate or something, so that may explain why my face can handle it. I found with myself that using salt scrub I got very similar results ( and feels quite the same) as microdermabrasion sessions. So most people wouldnt tolerate this multiple times a week.

I would recommend using a teaspoon in some olive oil, spread over face and body and scrub gently. If you have sensitive skin just use a bit less. Like I said previously my skin can handle this quite well so Ive used double that amount of salt before and left it on for a few mins before washing off

I use this as a body polish as well, it works fantastically well. I mix with coconut oil and leaves skin silky smooth and shiny :)

I use ordinary table salt to exfoliate with, and I can honestly say it is one of the best physical scrubs I have ever used for an easy and quick exfoliation.

I usually hate the trouble of exfoliating, but this makes it so easy that it I do it every two days and it keeps my skin healthy, shiny and clear.

This is MUCH better than sugar for exfoliating my face, however I use sugar and olive oil for my body after shaving because salt would be too painful on cuts and scrapes!

I bought so many scrubs and nothing could compare to this. I find that scrubs have large size granules that really irritates the skin. With salt you could actually make the granules smaller, depending on what you like, by stirring it with water until some of it dissolves. The exfoliating effect is sooo natural, I use this one a week with honey and a bit of water.

I love this salt scrub! Chemical exfoliators tend to dry the hell out of my skin and are very ineffective (in my opinion). I've tried several homemade scrubs like sugar, coffee, oatmeal, brown sugar but nothing exfoliates as effective as salt. It gets rid of all flakes (my skin flakes very easily) and I usually mix the salt with olive oil to give my skin a moisture boost and this mixture has changed the texture of my skin. It's cheap, effective and all natural. Thumbs up and I'll never buy chemical exfoliators ever again.

After reading the reviews, I decided to try this.
I mix coarse sea salt with honey, various oils and essential oils.
This scrub is better than any other scrub I have used--my skin is soft and glowing after I shower.
I love that I can change up the oils and scents that I use with the salt--
peppermint--lemon--lavender--whatever strikes my fancy--and I experiment with different oils--avacado--olive--hazelnut--grapeseed--jojoba.
It's fun to experiment and the result is always soft and glowing skin.

Ladies - try brown sugar instead. It scrubs just as well, but isn't drying or painful (if you've got any irritated or broken skin) like salt is. Plus you'll smell yummy!

For flaky scalps - mix some brown sugar in a cheap, light conditioner for a scalp scrub (this is good for general scalp health, and is better for hair growth)

For exfoliation - mix brown sugar with any body wash you like or conditioner or lotion, scrub, rinse

I use this as a scrub with fresh lemon juice 2-3 times a week and it does wonders for my skin! My acne as decreased 90% and my skin has a glow to it. This skin treatment is ridiculously cheap and works better than all the other $$$ treatments that I've tried. I highly recommend trying this before
Note: Sunscreen is a must with this scrub because the acids in lemon juice makes your skin more sensitive to UV rays. Of course, sunscreen is always a must but using this treatment makes it extra must, lol.

I took sea salt and put it in my Ultimate Chopper and made it really fine (almost like powdered sugar) It worked wonderfully as a face scrub. I mixed it with my regular cleanser.
