DIY Honey Lemon Salt Scrub | Easy Hand Scrub Recipe For Dry Hands

I looked at my hands the other day and saw they were in desperate need of soothing oils and exfoliation. Because I'm crafting all day and making DIY tutorials and videos, my hands get washed constantly and dry out fast. Time to make a DIY hand scrub!

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.

HONEY LEMON SALT SCRUB FOR HANDS INGREDIENTS:

HONEY LEMON SALT SCRUB FOR HANDS DIRECTIONS:

Here is how to make a hand scrub at home!

1. Get out a large bowl and pour in the sea salt and lemon zest.

2. Add in all of the oils, honey, and lemon essential oil and stir really well until mixed.

3. Scoop into locking containers to keep it fresh. Use within about two weeks.

To use your homemade DIY salt scrub for hands, take a bit of the scrub and gently rub it all over your hands for at least 20 seconds or so. Wash off with warm water.

For a spa party (or just for fun), you can kick this up a notch by filling a glass bowl with warm water and rose petals to rinse in! Rosewater smells heavenly with the citric notes of lemon and adds to the ambiance!

Another fun idea is to have a tub for your feet to soak in while you are doing the salt scrub. You can add a few drops of essential oil to the footbath, or if you are feeling very crafty, you can make your own bath bomb for your foot soak! Check out our DIY Bath Bomb recipe here.

I use homemade hand scrubs about every second day or so to keep my hands looking and feeling refreshed and moisturized. Plus, having a jar of this scrub sitting next to my sink adds a really nice touch to my kitchen and bathroom decor.

I love it when guests notice it at the sink and I tell them to go ahead and try it! They all want this recipe afterward.
