Looking for a natural way to exfoliate your skin and give it a healthy glow? Look no further than this DIY Himalayan Salt Scrub recipe!
Made with Himalayan salt, beetroot powder, essential oils, and carrier oils, this scrub is a luxurious skincare treatment that you can easily make at home. The exfoliating properties of the Himalayan salt combined with the moisturizing benefits of the carrier oils make this scrub a fantastic way to pamper your skin. So, let’s get started and learn how to make this DIY Himalayan Salt Scrub!
Ingredients Needed
- Himalayan Salt
- Beetroot Powder
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Rose Carrier Oil
- Lavender Essential Oil (Concentrated)
- Peppermint Essential Oil (Concentrated)
Notes on Ingredients
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
When an essential oil is included, I use either concentrated or diluted essential oils. If using concentrated essential oils, use up to 0.5% by weight to ensure safety for all skin types. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of concentrated essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.
Tools Needed
- Bowl
- Measuring cups
- Tablespoons and teaspoons
- Stirring spoon / stick
- Container to store the scrub

10- Transfer the scrub to a container of your choice for storage and you’re all done!
How To Use DIY Himalayan Salt Scrub
a. Start by wetting your skin with warm water. This will help open up your pores, which will make it easier for the scrub to work its magic.
b. Take a small amount of the Himalayan salt scrub and apply it on your skin using circular motions. It’s recommended to focus on areas that are rough or dry. Also, since the salt is coarse, be very gentle if you have sensitive skin.
c. Gently massage the scrub on your skin for a couple of minutes. This can help improve circulation and remove any dead skin cells.
d. When you finish massaging the scrub on your skin, rinse it off with warm water.
e. You can then use a moisturizer to help lock in hydration.
Note: You can use this product as often as required. This will depend on your skin’s type and sensitivity. It’s recommended to use this product either once or twice a week.
Benefits: DIY Himalayan Salt Scrub
DIY Himalayan salt scrub can offer the following benefits, among others:
Exfoliation: Himalayan salt has a coarse texture which can help eliminate dead skin cells and other impurities from your skin. In turn, your pores will become unclogged and your skin will look smoother and softer.
Hydration: Himalayan salt contains minerals that can help hydrate your skin. In turn, this promotes healthy skin cell growth. Your skin’s texture and elasticity will also improve!
Anti-aging: Himalayan salt contains potassium and magnesium. These minerals can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Using a Himalayan salt scrub regularly will give you a more youthful appearance in the long run.
Relaxation: Using this product can prove to be a very relaxing experience, especially if you combine it with aromatherapy. Overall, you can use the Himalayan salt scrub to promote relaxation and relieve stress.
