Lavender And Rose Salt Scrub

Lavender and Rose Salt Scrub

Lavender And Rose salt ScrubI started a goods exchange group that runs every few months, where we all make something in bulk and swap what we’ve made with the rest of the group, so if ten people sign up, you walk away with nine different things. This month – Friday, in fact – our theme is ‘Love Your Body’ to fit in with Valentine’s day and I’ve made Lavender and Rose Salt Scrub.

While I’m putting amounts and instructions down, it’s really pretty impossible to get wrong. I found that even leaving the oil to infuse for a few days didn’t really take on any of the aroma from the lavender or rose petals, so I added an essential oil called “Love in Life” from a tiny shop in France. I cant find it online, sadly, as it is amazing, but it has beautiful rose undertones.
