Salt Scrub/Incense Stick Workshop
Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 3pm
A salt scrub may just be the perfect way to remove dead skin and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
In this workshop we will discuss the skin care benefits of salt scrubs, using them, and how to make a salt scrub. You will leave knowing how to make your own, bringing the spa experience home at a small fraction of the cost.
WHAT DOES A SALT SCRUB DO?
The primary reason to use a salt scrub is to exfoliate. By removing dead skin through exfoliation the skin is left ready to absorb nourishing oils and other beneficial ingredients, such as essential oils. Removing the dead skin cells opens clogged pores and reduces the occurrence of skin blemishes on the body.
In this workshop you can will make 3 x 10 oz containers of salt scrub on and take them home in a beautiful reusable environmentally friendly containers with a bamboo tray (you can upgrade to a marble tray).
You can customize your salt scrubs using:
Sea Salt
Himalayan Salt
Lava Sea Salt
Shea Butter

Vitamin E Oil
Floral and Citrus Granules
Essential Oils
