I love taking baths but the best part is making the bath smell amazing and your skin feeling refreshed and new.  This means I usually spend a lot of money on bath bombs, bath salts or bath scrubs.  I decided I had enough of buying these items so I got crafty and made some Homemade Lavender Vanilla Salt Scrub for myself.  Once I did this and saw how easy it was and how great it came out I have decide that this will be one of the many Homemade gifts I will be giving this Christmas!
 
Ready to learn how to create your own Homemade Lavender Vanilla Salt Scrub?  I promise once you do this you will start to think of new “flavors” that you NEED in your bathtub!

    That looks awesome. I think having the option to add food coloring or not is nice. Some people (like me haha) have sensitivity to dyes. I think I will be making this Saturday. I also love rose oils, mint, and citrus flavors. So many options!

    I love how there is specks of red and blue in the salts. I could use this for my feet.

    I love this stuff but I've never tried to make any myself. I guess I just didn't realize it was this easy. I'm going to get the stuff this weekend and give it a try.

    This scrub looks so pretty, and lavender is one of my favorite scents in bath and body products.

    Did you use gel or liquid food coloring?

    How long will this last in a sealed container?

    • censiesaw says

      I have had mine in a sealed container for 4 months. The color is fading but that's it.

    Doesn't the dye color your skin?

    If you leave out the coconut oil, will these recipe work as bath salts?

    will the color dye your skin??

  17. Penny Dumelie says

    The food coloring wont dye your skin unless you use crazy amounts. There are cute bottles at the dollar store for this. Eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree oil make a great combination for a vapor bath salt. Great for colds and it works in the shower too. A little baking soda in the mix will add a bit of fizzle. Kids love it..

    How much of this would you add to the bath water?

    What type of essential oils? Can you use the stuff at Wal-Mart or does it have to be a high quality oil?

    If you add the baking soda when making the scrub will it still fizz when you use the product or do add the baking soda at the time you are actually using the scrub?

    • TheBuzzIsOurFriend says

      December 23, 2017 at 3:15 am

      It will not fizz either way. You'd have to add an acid to it to fizz.

    any one know if you can use just canola oil ?

    • Anonymous says

      March 5, 2015 at 9:10 pm

      Do not use canola oil! The reasons you use coconut or olive oil are because of the well known properties these particular oils have with helping skin to be and or feel soft. Canola oil is better for cooking ONLY

      sweet almond oil would work too

    Tried this recipe of salt scrub. Easy to make and natural. The kids love it in their hands because it makes their hands soft. Couldn't quite get the coloring right but sure over time I can perfect the color.

    I made a double batch of this for gifts only to find it was solid as a rock with in a few days… What went wrong 🙁

      I got a salt scrub last year, not this one, it started going hard also. I put a slice of bread in it just like I do for cookies and it softened right up.

    Ebony, what type of oil did you use that it was solid? If you used coconut oil it would need to
    be fractionated.

  27. Ebony says

    April 18, 2015 at 2:31 pm

    I used sweet almond.

    I really want to give this a try. Where can you find the wooden spoons to place with the scrub?
    Thanks

    I can almost smell it. Have you considered mixing the dye with the oil before adding it in. It would probably give you a more consistent color. Thank you for the nice instructions.

      I tried that. Unfortunately the gel and oil do not mix! I can not get the purple color 🙁
