The Best Salt Scrub
I recently downloaded the Yuka app, and let me tell you—it was a shocker. Almost all of my favorite beauty products? Rated terrible. Total bummer.
So I made a promise to myself: I’d start switching over to healthier options, one step at a time. It’s not easy, but little changes add up.
Let’s start with a win: my new DIY salt scrub!
I found out my old scrub scored 0/100 on Yuka. So I made my own—and it’s way better and easy to make.
Here is the easy recipe:
-
Essential Oil – I used Bergamot Essential Oil (use your favorite)
I love how my skin looks, feels, and glows.

Deep Hydration
Coconut oil is a natural emollient, meaning it helps trap moisture in the skin. It’s especially great for dry or flaky areas like elbows, knees, and heels.
Soothes Irritation
It has anti-inflammatory properties, making it helpful for calming conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and general redness or itching.
Rich in Antioxidants
Coconut oil contains vitamin E and polyphenols, which help fight free radicals and may slow signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.
Natural Antibacterial & Antifungal
The lauric acid in coconut oil can help fight off acne-causing bacteria and other skin infections. It's also used to soothe minor cuts and scrapes.
Softens and Smooths
Regular use leaves the skin feeling silky, smooth, and noticeably softer. It’s especially good as a night-time body moisturizer.
Helps Repair Skin Barrier
Coconut oil supports your skin’s natural barrier by preventing moisture loss and protecting it from environmental damage.
Great for Makeup Removal
It gently breaks down even waterproof makeup while nourishing the delicate skin around the eyes.
Natural Glow Booster
It gives your skin a healthy, dewy sheen—without needing extra highlighters or glow creams.
Cleanses & Purifies
Natural antibacterial properties help reduce acne-causing bacteria and unclog pores.
Balances Oily Skin
Helps regulate sebum production, making it a great choice for combination or oily skin.
Reduces Scars & Blemishes
May help fade dark spots and post-acne marks over time with regular use.
Soothes Irritation
Anti-inflammatory qualities calm redness, eczema, and minor rashes.
Stress Relief
Bergamot’s fresh, citrusy scent helps reduce anxiety and boost mood.
