SALT SCRUBS help circulation and are a wonderful way to invigorate your skin. The abrasive action of the salt will remove dead skin cells and open pores, allowing them to breathe. Because oils have been added to the salts, this scrub will create a healthy glow and moisturize your skin as well. To use, scoop out a tablespoon or two and begin to massage it onto your skin while in the shower or bath. Work in a circular motion, starting with your extremities and toward your heart. Leave the scrub on your skin for 5 to 20 minutes, and then rinse off with cool water.
