It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything related to beauty items you can create from things on hand. So, I thought I’d share with you the shower scrub I made yesterday.

Shower Scrub

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sea salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 bar Ivory soap

Method

Place the Ivory soap in the microwave until it “grows” and becomes crumbly. This should only take about a minute. Add the other ingredients and stir it together with a fork, making sure to blend it very well.

To use this, just dip your wet washcloth or bath scrunchie into the mixture and scrub away while you’re showering. I used this all over including on my face. It exfoliates without leaving your skin in the least bit dry feeling.

This recipe makes enough for one shower. I don’t recommend using this at every shower since you could actually wind up with sore skin from too much exfoliation, but this is great to use about once or twice a week. You can add fragrance to it if you wish. I used mine as-is.

Oh, and be sure to wash out the shower when you’re done so the next person doesn’t slip ‘n’ slide!
