Notes
If you'd like to swap the salt for more sugar (or vise versa), you can certainly do that! The finer the grain of the sugar or salt used, the finer the scrub will be. If you'd like something that is a little more coarse, you can opt for a larger grain of sugar or salt. You can use Himalayan sea salt, kosher salt, coconut sugar, or even regular granulated sugar!
Same goes with the oil used to bind the scrub. Feel free to mix it up with whatever nourishing body oil you have on hand: coconut oil, grapeseed oil, even olive oil works well!
Essential oils add scent as well as natural benefits. Depending on your need, you may opt to use a certain essential oil to add its properties into the scrub.
