Rose Salt Scrub

This wonderful homemade rose salt scrub recipe results in an easy and inexpensive way to get glowing skin! Salt Homemade salt scrubs are one of the easiest body products to DIY, yet they are still so luxurious!

Such a great recipe with just 2 ingredients. A couple more ingredients can be added for additional benefit.

Salt scrubs work great to exfoliate and moisturize dry skin. Exfoliation is so important because it helps to remove dead skin from the surface, can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pores, detoxifies and improves the overall tone of skin.

Salt scrubs are a great way to practice self care. You simply take a few extra minutes in the shower and take a couple extra minutes to scrub your skin with your own homemade salt scrub, you’re truly doing something beneficial for you and your body. Extra great to add a plant infused oil like wonderful rose oil or one of my many other infused oil recipes.

Making your own skincare products from flowers, herbs and other medicinal plants and weeds is a fun beneficial activity. And they make great gifts!

Another great reason to make your own rose oil and salt scrub, salve and other items, is that store-bought skincare products contain synthetic fragrances, harsh preservatives, and other harmful chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin and contribute to long-term health concerns. Plus making your own rose salt scrub is easy to do and much more affordable than store-bought skin care products.

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 rose 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!

Health Benefits of Rose Flower

This article from the National Library of Medicine discusses many benefit from roses including for the skin – anti-aging and skin repair benefits.

This article states that

“When it comes to beautiful skin, roses are an excellent addition to your skincare routine. Rich in vitamins A and E, roses will help hydrate and tighten your skin while helping reduce the prominence of fine lines and dark circles. This flower also supports the body’s natural collagen production, which is basically our body’s protein responsible for healthy skin, hair, and nails. Loaded with tons of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, roses can also help reduce breakouts and calm skin conditions such as rosacea and eczema.“

It is amazing what roses and other wild flowers and plants can do!

Roses are so beautiful, with so many different colors and varieties. Here is a picture of a climbing rose from my yard.
