Ingredients Needed
- Himalayan salt
- Mint/peppermint oil. This is a carrier oil.
- Lavender essential oil

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products. Also, where an essential oil is included in my recipes, I utilize either of two types of essential oils: pure if added in drops, or diluted if mixed in grams—For diluted essential oil, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.
Tools Needed
- Bowl
- Measuring cups
- Tablespoons and teaspoons
- Stirring spoon / stick
- Container to store the scrub

How To Use: DIY Himalayan Salt Scrub
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.
Next, 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.
After that, gently massage the scrub on your skin for a couple of minutes. This can help improve circulation and remove any dead skin cells.
When you finish massaging the scrub on your skin, rinse it off with warm water. 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
A 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.
- Soothing: A Himalayan salt scrub can have a calming effect on your skin. This is beneficial for those who have sensitive or irritated skin.
