Apple Scented Shea Butter Salt Scrub

Whether it’s for teacher appreciation, the end of year teacher gift or just to say thank you it’s always nice to do something different and this apple scented shea butter salt scrub is just the thing most teachers would love to pamper themselves with.

Salt scrub recipes are super easy to make and fun to pamper yourself with. I keep this whipped lemon salt scrub  in my shower all the time and use it everywhere to smooth out rough spots and exfoliate my skin. This secret I use is adding shea butter to it. It not only exfoliates but really helps hold in the moisture and keep your skin soft! You can also substitute brown sugar for the salt if you prefer which is how we make this brown sugar coconut oil scrub.

Salt scrubs make great gifts and you can us any kind of scent or essential oil you want to customize it. For this easy 5 ingredient, salt scrub recipe and you just put all your ingredients in a bowl and mix it together! I use my stand mixer to whip it up really well but you don’t have to. Once it is mixed just spoon it into a jar and, if you want, put a label on it! I made these with my computer and Avery Labels online label creator. 

When giving this apple scented shea butter salt scrub as a gift I like to put a little recipe card with it so they can make it themselves once they finish this jar. I printed the card on heavy cardstock and cut it to size. You can download it here if you wish to print these yourself.
