Strawberry salt scrub

8/24/2011

Homemade strawberry and salt scrub. This is really lovely and smells delicious. It is great to make with leftover strawberries.
Ingredients: Strawberries, Salt

Chop up the strawberries finely or whizz them a little bit in a food processor and then add salt until you have a scrub like texture. This keeps for ages. I was really worried when I first made it that it wouldn't last for long but the salt preserves the strawberries.

Remember despite it smelling lovely this is not a food. You can eat it but it will be very salty!

do you need to keep this in the fridge?

I kept it in the fridge to begin with but have now found it seems to be fine not in the fridge. I have had mine by the sink for a month or so now and it is still fine. The salt preserves the strawberries.

Wondering if this would work with pineapples. As pineapples have natural flesh eating enzyme. Could be good for hard skin. To the fruit market!

Magstheobsucure - Do let me know if pineapples work. Raspberries might be lovely too.

Hi, How many strawberries do you use and how much salt? And how do you use this on your body or face?

Thanks! I really want to try this out

Hi Diva

You don't need much strawberry at all. About half a dozen. I just usually save the bits I cut off with the stalks when I am making other things and then chop these up. I only use it on my body. Great for feet. I haven't tried it on my face. Let me know how you get on.
