Bath Salt Scrub Bar

by

Bath salts are terrific, but they’re not all that conducive to showers. I mean you could throw some salts in your shower, but your feet are the only body parts that will benefit from that! If you want to take your bath salts and transform them into something shower-friendly, try making a Salt Scrub bar of soap.

There are two different ways to go about this that have worked for me, and both use melt and pour. I’ve tried adding salts to cold process soap but they’ve never stood up to the heat of the soap itself. I suppose you could add a layer of m&p soap on top of your CP batch and sprinkle the salts over the soap while it’s still hot - that might be one of my next experiments! Anyway, moving on.

For a simple Salt Scrub bar, you’ll need:

  • handful of prepared bath salts for each bar
  • clear or opaque melt and pour soap base
  • soap molds
  • soap dyes (optional)
  • essential or fragrance oils

Place a small handful of bath salts in the bottom of each soap mold; set aside.

Melt the soap base as usual, and add your colour and fragrance once the soap is completely melted and slightly cooled. (Note: Choose a fragrance that either matches or compliments the scent of the bath salts.) Pour the soap into the molds and allow to harden for several hours.

When you pop the soap out of the molds, the salts will be “stuck” on the top of the bar. This creates a scrub side for exfoliating, while the smooth side can be used for simple cleansing.

Tomorrow I’ll share the other salt scrub bar that I’ve been making, which is slightly more involved but absolutely worth it!

    This is definitely a new way of using bath salts, especially for those who are always on the go and don’t really have the time to soak in the tub. But I really don’t get the idea of using bath salts in showers. Isn’t the reason these salts are used in baths is because the skin is supposed to absorbed the minerals in these salts? http://www.sfbsc.com/bath-salt-blog/view/18955/the-benefits-of-sea-salts–bring-the-ocean-home–

    The story of the tv is a compound one, implying the cooperated acts of many inventors and the global partnership of engineers over many decades. There were 2 great principles that overlapped to build the basic examples of the TV; mechanized and electronic doctrines and a separated work on solely electronic makes. Eventually, robotic practices in television’s development would be collapsed in favor of the only electronic wholes. Tv is a globally used communications intermediate for receiving and broadcasting moving images. The tv has gone over numerous stages of developing, from the small black and white systems, to the increase of gloss, and directly to the invention of plasma, flat screen and HD units. The word TV is gained from the Greek and Latin phrases tele (far sight) and visio (to see). Tv saw, in its earlier points of growth, a fusion of optical and electronic engineerings to make, record and exhibit viewable pictures. The tv has been a base communications receiver in places since the 1930s. Commercial Enterprises and institutions as much as houses have utilized the device as a origin of amusement and news. Since the seventies, the development of compatible devices through the television has past leaps and bounds, over the usage of picture cassettes, DVDs and the newborn Blu Ray Discs, TVs have oftentimes been used to see filmed material such as flicks. Genres of video programming insure a generous variety of types that entertain, inform, and train TV audience.
