BEST DIY Salt Scrub Recipe of 2025!

Hey friends, here is an easy DIY honey lemon salt scrub recipe.

Hands dry out when they are exposed to drying elements, especially SOAP and HOT WATER. Soap strips the skin of natural oils which makes skin very tight.

If you are not re-introducing oils back to your hands, the hands will continue to dry out further and this can lead to cracking and rough, irritated skin.

Can a salt scrub put moisture back into your hands and skin? Yes! Read on to discover how to make an easy DIY salt scrub at home to bring moisture back to your hands and have them feeling soft and smooth again.
