There’s something so gratifying about making your own skin care products. You have overall manage over the high quality of the components that go into your creations, the feel of the product, as well as the scent of the product (I’m only a manage freak when it concerns skin care, I promise!).
I personally like salt body scrubs. If you’ve ever been to my home you understand that my shower area is cluttered with jars of scrubs of every description — some store bought, however mainly ones that I’ve made myself. It feels incredible to massage a handful of scrub into your skin after a long day, as well as the salt scrubs that I make leave my skin both polished as well as moisturised.

So, why did I make a scrub based on mojitos? Well, since mojitos are just the BOMB!
This specific scrub is very simple to make, even if you’ve never made diy bath as well as body products before. Unlike some diy oil-based scrubs, this rinses clean since it has a built-in emulsifier.

10g mango butter (weight 0.35 oz)
5g cetyl alcohol (weight 0.18 oz)
20g olive oil (weight 0.7 oz)
7g avocado oil (weight 0.25 oz)
7g pomegranate oil (weight 0.25 oz)
10 drops peppermint necessary oil
10 drops lime necessary oil
3 drops grapefruit necessary oil
1g vitamin E 500IU (roughly 2/3 tspn)
0.8g Polysorbate 80 (roughly ½ tspn)
A few drops of optiphen
70g salt
Ingredient overview
Olive, avocado, as well as pomegranate oils: I’ve selected these oils for their distinct nutrient profiles, as well as since they are all intensely moisturising (you can utilize any type of of your preferred provider oils here).
Polysorbate 80: This is our emulsifier, which enables the oils/butters to mix with water. What this implies is that when you massage the scrub onto your wet skin, it turns milky as well as rinses clean.
Optiphen: This is our (non-paraben) preservative. since water will undoubtedly get into your scrub as you utilize it in the shower, we want something that stops bacteria as well as mould from growing.
Salt: I changed to utilizing salt instead of sugar as my exfoliating agent since it’s really considerably finer in structure as well as appropriate for both limbs as well as decolette. When I was utilizing sugar it was as well rough on the delicate areas of my skin.
There’s a sugar scrub recipe on the diy section of my blog if any type of of you are interested called diy Macadamia Butter as well as Lemongrass Sugar Scrub
Directions
Measure out non-heat sensitive components first
Measure out 10g of mango butter, as well as (approximately) 5g of cetyl alcohol.
Measure out your oils (in keeping with the spirit of mojitos, I weighed out each oil in a shot glass).
Add them together in a warm resistant container (I utilized a durable glass tumbler).
Combining your non warm sensitive ingredients
Gently warm this in a double boiler or a saucepan of water up until whatever just melts.
Once whatever is melted as well as mixed together, great the blend in the fridge up until it goes semi solid.
Final stage — adding warm sensitive ingredients
Stir the semi solid oil/butter mix as well as integrate your necessary oils, polysorbate 80, vitamin E as well as optiphen.
Add your salt, one tablespoon each time up until you reach your preferred consistency. keep in mind that the scrub will “set” overnight (it will be firmer the next day).
And you’re done! sit back as well as pat yourself on the back for producing your own bath as well as body product.
You can say thanks to me later.
