How wonderful to be able to easily make your own lilac salt scrub with amazing benefits to your skin! Such an easy recipe with few ingredients! Works with just 2 ingredients but more can be added for additional benefit.

Making your own skincare products from flowers, herbs and other medicinal plants and weeds is a fun beneficial activity.

Lilacs are one of my favorite flowers and I love my one lone lilac shrub when it blooms every spring! It was one of the first things I planted when I moved here about 20 years ago and is still blooming strong! Not only are lilac shrubs beautiful but the scent of lilac is amazing.

Lilacs can also be used to make this wonderful sweet and tasty lilac jelly!

This recipe uses dead sea salts.

Dead Sea salts offer numerous benefits for skin and overall health, including improved hydration, muscle relaxation, and potential relief for skin conditions. The high concentration of minerals in Dead Sea salts, like magnesium and calcium, helps to soothe and revitalize the skin, making it a popular choice for bath soaks, scrubs, and skincare products.

Other types of salts can be used, such as pink salt, sea salt and Epsom salt.

This wonderful lilac dead sea salt scrub is wonderful for exfoliation of your skin and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. Exfoliation has many wonderful benefits for both the body and for the face. Dead skin cells build up and can make skin look flaky and dry.

When you exfoliate, you can remove these old, dead skin cells and renew your skin. Sea salt adds even extra detox benefits!
