Scrubs help circulation and are a wonderful way to invigorate your skin. According to Carol Endler Sterbenz the abrasive action of the salt will remove dead skin cells and open pores, allowing them to breathe. In beauty salons the word "Scrub" is used to describe a cleansing or exfoliating the skin. In Asian traditions, scrubbing the skin is common, especially among women. A vigorous scrub not only softens, stimulates and cleans the skin but also makes it look lighter.

Prior to modern soaps and cleansing agents, women would use sandalwood powder, blends of local herbs and plants as natural astringents.

Under the guidance of medical and holistic practitioners, natural and indigenous ingredients have been combined, following time-honoured recipes, from the Indonesian archipelago to produce what is known as Esens Scrubs. The effects and benefits of the Esens Scrubs vary:

Sea Salts or garam laut - natural antiseptic, stimulating, exfoliating
Lavender Scrub or scrub bunga - relaxing lavender scent for cleansing
Herbal Scrub or rempah - cooling and calming to inflammed skin
Spice Scrub or boreh - warming, stimulating, good for blood circulation
Javanese Scrub or lulur - exotic, romantic, skin beautifying

Peppermint Salt Scrub

Grind 1/2 Cup lentils in coffee mill or blender till fine.
Grind 1/2 Cup almonds till med coarse.

Mix Peppermint essential oil with 1/2 cup almond oil & add Sea Salt till blended and add lentils and almonds.

Scented Salt Scrub
Because oils have been added to the salts, this scrub will create a healthy glow and moisturize your skin as well. To use, scoop out a tablespoon or two and begin to massage it onto your skin while in the shower or bath. Work in a circular motion, starting with your extremities and toward your heart. Leave the scrub on your skin for 5 to 20 minutes, and then rinse off with cool water.

3 cups fine sea salt
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/2 cup of sweet almond oil
1/2 tsp. tree tea oil
1/2 tsp. eucalyptus oil
1/2 tbsp. peppermint oil
1 tbsp. rosemary oil

Mix salt and oils, then add the essential oils. Store in a tightly sealed glass container. Will keep up to two weeks in refrigerator.
NOTE: do not use any equipment with copper, aluminum, cast-iron or Teflon finishes. Do not use on cut or irritated skin.

Our sea salt scrubs are an intense sea salt scrub designed to really get your circulation going; and to remove dead skin cells. Use on your thighs, buttocks, stomach and maybe even your feet. Comes in a 6 oz jar. Includes rock sea salt, sunflower and safflower oil, honey, glycerin, kaolin clay and essential oils. The great thing about using a sea salt scrub; rather than a sand, pumace or even a loofah scrub is that sea salt dissolves into your bath water to avoid clogging of your drain when done the treatment.
