this scrub is great for when you feel like you need a little extra boost of self love in your life, it has a shelf life 4 months.
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 cup salt
- Dried rose petals
- Dried Rosemary
- sugar (optional)
- red food coloring (2 drops)
- mortar and pedestal
- grind up your herbs and then mix the herbs, olive oil and honey together in a bowl. Gradually mix in the salt.
- Continue to mix until the oil is mostly absorbed into the grains, it will be very think in consistency. if it is not doing this after a few minutes add salt or sugar in small increments until it’s a gritty oily paste ( Note you will need less salt/sugar if using a finer grain salt and more for larger grain).
- Add 1 drop of red food coloring and mix well.
- store in a jar until ready for use.
- To use, scoop about a tablespoon of the scrub into damp hands and gently massage between your hands then scrub your body in circular motions. feel free to let it sit a bit. once the salt crystals have mostly dissolved then its time to rise.
