Laila Salt and Honey Scrub




So we took a bit of a hiatus this year but we're back...with more content and excited about all the new things we have in store starting this Late Summer.

One of our favorite things to make are salt and honey scrubs. They are the best Do It Yourself beauty projects and the more you make the more fun you can have with it.  So many beauty products have too many unhealthy and toxic preservatives. Keep it simple.

The salt and honey scrub recipe we love is below. We fell in love with this Norwegian perfume called Laila and added about 1/2 tsp to our salt and honey scrub.

Our skin was supersoft and the scent absolutely divine! It's fresh and floral and light for the summer.

Salt and Honey Scrub 
2 cups extra virgin organic olive oil
2/3 cup raw honey AND 3 cups sea salt (fine) or coarse (blend/grind)
Mix the first 2 ingredients together in a bowl. Gradually mix in the salt 1/2 cup at a time. It's easiest to mix with your hands. Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin.

Add salt in half cup increments until it's a gritty oily paste. 
You can add a tablespoon or a couple of teaspoons of your favorite essential oils. We made a whole batch and put a small amount into a separate container so we could play around with different fragrances and scents. Have fun with this - it's super easy!
