Grapefruit Salt Scrub

Keep your skin looking great and indulge your senses with this aromatic salt glow. All ingredients can be found at your local health food store.



Grapefruit Glow


1 cup of fine dead sea salts

8 oz jojoba oil

40 drops of ruby red grapefruit essential oil

20 drops lemon essential oil

10 drops ylang ylang essential oil


Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.



Tips to getting the same great spa results at home - at a fraction of the cost.




  1. Find some quiet time when you will not be disturbed. Light a few candles, dim the lights, and turn on soft, soothing music.


  2. Use a loofah or bath mitt to exfoliate your skin pre salt scrub - this is called dry brushing. Move your loofah in circular motions across clean, dry skin. Pay careful attention to the heels, knees, and elbows. Dry brushing has a stimulating effect and can be done every day before stepping into the shower or bath.


  3. While standing in shower or bathtub, apply the salt scrub to the entire body - avoiding the face.


  4. Rinse the scrub off using warm water. Take time to breathe deeply. The smell of citrus brings about a sense of happiness and contentment.


  5. Towel dry the skin and finish the treatment with a generous application of jojoba oil.
