This Honey Sea Salt Body Scrub is the perfect solution for cleaning those stuck on messes (like paint) off little hands.
It never fails that my children come home from school with their latest art project displayed on their entire body from head to toe. From paints to markers to clay, they’ve come home from school covered in it all.
For the most part, I can get them in the shower and scrub it off. But it’s inevitable that there will still be paint or markers in their little fingerprints. By using this Honey Sea Salt Body Scrub, I’m able to get those stuck on messes without rubbing their delicate skin raw.
The added scrubbing texture from the sea salt makes it so much easier to remove those stubborn, stuck on messes.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fine sea salt
- 1.5 teaspoons of honey
Other Items Needed
Instructions
If I know we will be getting really dirty, I’ll whip up a batch ahead of time and store it a small metal container. You could also use a round container too. It all depends on personal preference. I would just make sure that if you are going to travel with it, that you find something that will stay closed if thrown in your purse or diaper bag.
Because the honey will start to dissolve the salt over time, just make a small batch that you’ll use within a few days. Anything longer than that and you’ll probably need to throw it away and make a new batch.
With so much chatter about the ingredients we are using in the products we use on our bodies and the food we eat, it’s nice to know that there are only two ingredients in this Honey Sea Salt Body Scrub. Just like the title suggests, it’s only honey and sea salt.
There are no long chemical names that are impossible to spell, let alone pronounce. Just two very natural ingredients, that when combined together, do a pretty darn good job of removing those stuck on art projects on your child’s hands.

That sounds like a great scrub. I’ve heard that honey is great for your hair, but I didn’t know it was also good for the skin.

I’m loving this idea. I could use some exfoliation right about now because of all the sun. I need to start putting on sunblock too.

It does not get much easier than a simple two ingredient salt scrub, nor does it get more natural. I am sure even my super sensitive skin would love this!
Tonya says
Okay, I need to make this. I’ve also been concerned with the chemicals that are in my beauty products and the problems they could cause. Plus, as I age, I notice that my skin is becoming more sensitive.
