For a variety of skin conditions use your Healing ‘Salt Glow’ to freshen and renew your skin before your bath or shower.

Preparation – what you will need:

  • Small ceramic bowl
  • 1-4 teaspoon favorite carrier oil (jojoba, rose, light coconut oil)
  • 1 cup sea salt or Celtic or Grey sea salt (detoxifier)
  • 1-4 drops pure essential oil
  • Sterilized instrument such as a stainless steel teaspoon
  • Celtic or Grey sea salt has a more coarse and plump texture. Because of its green clay content it is a more powerful detoxifier and better suited for smoothing out more rough and weathered skin. For more delicate skin areas you may prefer the regular sea salt.

    • RECOMMENDED Pure Essential to use and why:

    ROSE GERANIUM is suitable for ALL skin types! Its regulating properties make it useful for balancing too oily, dry or combination skin types. Rose Geranium soothes sensitive or irritated skin and is useful for treating acne, burns, bruises, shingles, herpes, eczema and dermatitis.

    YLANG YLANG has traditionally been used in beauty and skin care as its plant hormones promote cellular regeneration. Its moisture balancing effect on the skin’s natural sebum production, makes Ylang Ylang oil suitable for sensitive, oily, dry and mature skin types.
