Dead Sea Salt Scrub with Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil comes from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Tea tree oil contains a number of compounds, including terpinen-4-ol, that have been shown to kill certain bacteria, viruses and fungi. These germ-fighting properties make tea tree oil a valued natural remedy for treating bacterial and fungal skin conditions, preventing infection and promoting healing.

Additionally, Dead Sea salt is ten times richer in essential minerals than regular salt. These minerals assist in clarifying, detoxing, cleansing, and restoring healthy skin. Minerals like calcium, zinc, and potassium work to increase moisture retention, helping the skin stay soft, plump, and hydrated. Dead Sea salt also has amazing anti-fungal, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties that help cleanse and detoxify the pores by driving out oils, dirt and other impurities. This means that it can help clear up acne, pimples and maybe even blackheads. 

To use this scrub, thoroughly wet and soften skin with warm water. Gently massage the scrub into the skin in a circular motion. Rinse off with warm water. This scrub can be used in the shower or bath. It can be used on the entire body, even the face. Just be careful around the eye area.
