How to make exfoliating/moisturizing salt rub

Step 4

Warnings: Do not use this mixture for rough skin on the bottom of your feet or on your face. Using this on the bottom of your feet will result in slipping and falling. I don't want to hear about someone making this and hurting or killing themselves with it by accident. Skin on the face is too sensitive to use this mixture on. It is for rough and/or dry patches on the hands, elbows, and knees mostly. Do not use this on an open sore, like cracked open skin. That would hurt like the dickens.

To use: Scoop out about 1/2-1 tablespoon of the mixture and rub it on the rough and/or dry skin like a waterless hand sanitizer. The salt will remove the rough and/or dry skin through mechanical means, while the oil will make the skin soft. When finished, wash off with water (no soap, or you will simply remove the oil that is moisturizing your skin.) It is best to use this on knees or elbows in the shower.

Can you use sugar too? Because my skin is rough but I have sensative skin.

I've never tried it myself. I'd love to know how it works for you. Please let us know!

I use olive oil with sugar (and vitamin E). That way it doesn't hurt if there are any cuts. I guess you could use turbinado sugar if you want something coarser, but that would drive the price up a little.
