Salt scrubs—as the name suggests—consists of a blend of salt, most commonly sea salt and other ingredients that work to exfoliate the skin. The top layer of the skin consists of dead skin cells, grime and debris which can greatly alter the texture, tone, elasticity and suppleness of the skin. A salt scrub effectively peels away such dead skin cells, dirt, excess oils and debris, revealing the fresh, healthy skin layers underneath.

Many spas in Arizona offer salt scrubs. Often, one can choose the kind of scrub they desire, and the essential oil/s that are included in them.

Some other popular salt scrubs include, but are not limited to: Lavender Salt Scrubs (which relax while toning and cleaning the skin), Tropical Ginger Salt Scrubs (which tingle and tickle as they remove dead skin cells and dirt while unclogging pores), and some other popular salt scrubs such as Vanilla Salt Scrubs, Tangerine Salt Scrubs, Lemongrass Green Tea Salt Scrubs and even delectable ones like a Peppermint Rosemary Salt Scrub.

Do-it-Yourself Salt Scrub Tips
You can easily find a salt scrub at most day spa stores, bath and body stores or drugstores located throughout Arizona. You can even make your own salt scrubs at home. For this you will require a cup of sea salt or kosher salt. Add some massage oil, like sweet almond oil, or grape seed oil, or even baby oil for fragrance and texture. You can also add some essential oils, like lavender oil, or rosemary oil to refresh the senses. You can use a salt scrub once a week to enjoy clean, healthy and glowing skin. 

The Benefits of Salt Scrubs

Salt (or sodium) contains a number of trace minerals that penetrate the skin and nourish it, when scrubbed gently into the skin pores. However, salt scrubs should not be used by people with sensitive skin, as the salt can potentially irritate their skin and cause inflammation. If you have sensitive skin, you can substitute salt with sugar instead. If one kind of salt scrub irritates your skin, you can also try out other kinds until you find one which suits your skin type. The size of the salt granules found in salt scrubs also varies. Scrubs with large, coarse granules are particularly useful for removing several layers of dead skin. After you use a salt scrub, make sure to follow up with a table shower (if you are at a day spa) or a shower or bath if you are at home. Also, don’t forget to moisturize your skin using a premium and gentle moisturizing cream or lotion afterwards.
