Ingredients
- ½ cup Epsom salt

Instructions
- Stir together the Epsom salt, sugar, and lavender in a bowl.

- Spoon into an 8 oz or 12 oz mason jar, top with a pinch of extra lavender for that “hand-crafted” magic.

- Massage onto damp skin in the shower, focusing on rough spots. Rinse clean.
- Warning, darling: avoid if you have open cuts—Epsom salt does what it does.

⏳ Shelf Life
About 3 months tightly sealed.
Keep water out of the jar and you’re golden. This scrub is made with nourishing oil — that’s what makes it moisturizing instead of scratchy. As with any homemade bath product, your tub may get a bit slick, so take care when stepping in or out. Give your skin a tiny patch test first if you’re prone to sensitivities. You know your skin and your shower better than I ever could, so please use with care.
