Salt and sugar are two ingredients that can be easily found at home and that work very well to make a complete exfoliation of the body, leaving the skin smoother, velvety and soft.
Exfoliating creams are a great option to ensure better skin hydration, as they remove dead cells that can hinder the absorption of the moisturizer. So, a good tip is to use the scrub at least once a week, to keep your skin always soft and hydrated.
In addition, as they are relatively inexpensive, salt and sugar can be used in large quantities to cover the entire skin of the body.

Combine the ingredients in a container and then rub in the body with circular movements before bathing. Wash your body with warm water and pat dry with a soft towel. Finally, apply a moisturizing cream suitable for your skin type.
2. Salt and lavender scrub
This is the perfect scrub for anyone looking for a moment of relaxation, as in addition to containing salt that removes dead skin cells, it also has lavender, a plant with strong calming and relaxing properties.

To allow the exfoliator to stick better on the body, you can add a little sweet almond oil or wash the body with soap before using the soap foam to better hold the exfoliating mixture.
