Hooray! I have a new favorite product! I found this Lavender Salt Scrub at Trader Joe’s today. It was like $3.50 or something cheap like that. Quite the economical luxury if you ask me. It’s great for exfoliating and then it leaves a nice thin layer of oil on the skin which will soak in even after the shower. The icing on the cake is that the smell is amazing!
From what I can tell based on the label, it seems to be tri-doshic (good for vata, pitta & kapha). The lavender aromatherapy is soothing and calming for all doshas. The oils used are safflower, sunflower, and sweet almond which are not too heavy for kapha or too warming for pitta. Kaphas will love the invigorating texture of the salt on the skin. Pitta will love the calming smell. And while sesame oil is ideal for vata, vata skin will gladly absorb any oil it is given. Happiness for all.
A lovely spa treat, it would make a nice gift for someone (too bad I didn’t know about this before Mother’s Day) or even for yourself. It was an unexpected mega-happy purchase – and did I mention it was cheap?

Even cheaper? Homemade salt scrubs! You can Google recipes, but really all you do is take Kosher or Sea Salt, stir in the oil of your choice (as a vata, mine is sesame or almond oil) and a few drops of lavender essential oil. They make great gifts for the holidays, too!
