This easy honey salt scrub is not only the perfect solution to dry, flaky skin, but costs far less than expensive store-bought scrubs!
I first made this simple honey salt scrub about three years ago during our first ever 31 Days of Living Well & Spending Zero challenge. I loved it so much that I ended up making a huge batch and giving it away to all my friends and family that year. They have been asking for more ever since!
But don’t let the simplicity fool you–this easy-to-make scrub packs a powerful punch! It is the perfect solution to dry, flaky skin and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and moisturized all day long. Better yet, it is way cheaper to make than all those expensive store-bought scrubs, and works just as well! You can use your favorite essential oil–I have tried it with bergamot, lavender, and ginger and they are all fabulous!

It didn’t mix for me either unfortunately. I tried the tip to heat it up, mix it again, heat it up, mix it again. But the oil(s) still won’t go into the salt+honey mixture. Actually, by mixing it for that long (10min), the only thing that happened is the honey going into the oil and out of the salt for a bit.
I’m using it by just mixing it a bit by hand before applying, and it works so that’s nice!
This recipe sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing it. I use Himalayan salt for cooking so I am definitely going to try this scrub but with this salt. I have heard so much good about Himalayan salt, even I have purchased Himalayan salt lamp as well. You can visit the given website to know more about different types of salt products.
Can we use Himalayan pink salt for this scrub? Because I have Himalayan salt, so I want to know if I can use it instead of sea salt. I have read so much about the benefits of Himalayan salt and even purchased a Himalayan salt lamp form ittefaqco recently.
This sounds like something I really need for my face. Thank you so much.
Can I substitute epsom salt for the sea salt?
You would get a different consistency but you could make it a sugar scrub. Just substitute sugar for the sea salt. 🙂
