DIY: Lavender Salt Scrub

Lavender is an amazing plant with many benefits. One of my favorite things to do with it is to make a salt scrub. There are many recipes, but this one happens to be my favorite. You'll need the following:

-18 oz. course sea salt
-18 oz. fine sea salt
-4 fl. oz. grapeseed oil (or other unscented body oil such as almond, avocado or vegetable glycerin)
-1/2 fl. oz. lavender essential oil
-dried lavender buds (available at our SHOP)

Combine and put into a 36 oz. container wide enough for you to easily scoop the goodness out :) This is a cheaper and more fun way to bring the spa into your own home.
