Sugar Scrubs and Bath Salts

Hey Guys! So I've been pretty broke recently and have been looking at ways to treat myself, and also cheap alternatives  to buying friends birthday presents. So I decided to have a night in with a friend, instead of going out and hitting the town- as i'd previously said... we're kinda broke- and made bath salts and sugar body scrubs! Its simple,f un and easy, so here are the favourite essences that we made...

 Before starting I made a trip to Asda and purchased these cute little jars, 4 for £2!

 We decided to gather everything and anything that we thought might smell good in a bath and beauty product around the kitchen.

Bath Salts

 We used approximately 1 cup full of fresh sea salt shavings, then mixed these with a teaspoon of coconut and baby oil. The first was a fusion of lime zest, 1 green tea bag and a hand full of jasmine. The second (Fruit Cocktail) was a mixture of lime zest, almost zest, strawberry, vanilla pods and extract. It's so simple! You can do this with whatever ingredients you chose. 

Sugar Body Scrub

This step-by-step is fairly similar to the bath salts. I started by using just 1 cup demerara sugar, but then decided to mix it together with 1/2 a cup of sea salt flakes, to reduce the sweetness and soften the colour. I then mixed in double the amount of coconut and baby oil, as previously stated in the sea salts, and started to add ingredients. I decided to keep the sugar body scrub sweet smelling and added vanilla pod, extract, cinnamon and a small amount of honey. 

Enjoy!
