Whipped Lemon Salt Scrub

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Health and Beauty, Home Tips 21 Comments

Whipped lemon salt scrub is a body butter and salt scrub, all in one. It's whipped with shea butter, so it's light and airy. It will slough away dead skin cells but also leave your skin feeling dreamy smooth. Salt scrub is better than sugar scrub for hard areas like heels and elbows. It's almost sandal season so it's time to start getting rid of dry heels!Whipped Lemon Salt Scrub it's a mix of body butter and salt scrub it's easy to make and your skin is super soft after you use it!

Salt Scrub vs. Sugar Scrub

What really separates salt scrubs from sugar scrubs is that they offer therapeutic, mineralization benefits. Salt granules work a little harder than a fine gentle sugar, making them a good choice for where skin that gets dry and calloused, like elbows and feet.

Sugar scrubs, like this brown sugar coconut scrub, are better for other areas that are more delicate like lips, face, neck, and chest. Sugar is gentler on your skin but will still get rid of skin dullness, uneven skin tone and fine lines due to our everyday exposure to pollution, dirt, stress and the sun's ultra-violet rays.Whipped Lemon Salt Scrub it's a mix of body butter and salt scrub it's easy to make and your skin is super soft after you use it!

Salt Scrub Benefits

Salt scrubs are an ideal treatment for skin detoxification. The magnesium in Epsom salt reduces inflammation while sulfates flush out toxins. Salt scrubs are generally more abrasive because of their larger crystals so they do a better job at smoothing rough skin. Use once a week. salt scrubs invigorates the skin and helps to improve circulation, Sloughing away dead skin cells actually promotes the growth of healthy new cells. This regeneration process tightens the skin, giving it a firmer and younger-looking appearance.

The best thing about this salt scrub recipe is that it is mixed with shea butter, so it's way more emollient than a regular scrub made with coconut oil. It will leave your skin feeling super soft and moisturized. I use lemon essential oil, but you can also use any high-quality essential oil you like.Whipped Lemon Salt Scrub it's a mix of body butter and salt scrub it's easy to make and your skin is super soft after you use it!

      No, it will not, you are not heating the shea butter

          No I just put my mixer on medium then high and it starts to break up and mix in. It's kinda like using a cold stick of butter.

    This looks amazing and I can't wait to make it! I was wondering what the shelf like of this product is? I'd like to prepare a few jars at a time and then share them with friends, but I want to be sure to tell them if it might go bad. Thanks,

    Hi there, Love this idea, and I'm going to try it this weekend! Could you use lemon juice instead to give it that lemon scent? I make a lemon sugar scrub with lemon juice and it works great. Just wondered if you had ever tried it. Thanks, Lauren
