If you want to have a spa-like feeling in the comfort of your own bathroom, this DIY aromatic body scrub is one pampering product you should definitely try. Use it in your shower or after a bath — it'll make your skin feel smooth as you reap the stress-reducing benefits of aromatherapy.

Step One
Place the pink Himalayan sea salt in a mixing bowl.
Using your chef's knife, mince the fresh ginger and mint leaves into fine pieces, and then add to the bowl with the sea salt.
Step Two
Next, add your wet ingredients to the bowl: the raw honey, sweet almond oil, glycerin, and spearmint essential oil. Mix until well incorporated.

Finally, scoop the scrub into a cute jar with a lid. Place a small mint leaf on top of your scrub, and then close the jar. If you're gifting to someone, wrap it up or simply tie a ribbon around it for an extra thoughtful touch.
