There’s a beautiful kind of energy that comes with a new year. It’s a chance to shake off the heavy layers of December and step into something brighter. While we often focus on resetting our schedules, our skin—the part of us that has worked so hard all year—deserves its own fresh start, too.
Bare Botanics believes premium self-care doesn't need to be out of reach. A true "skin reset" is about simple, honest ingredients that work. That’s why we lean into the power of the salt scrub. It’s the ultimate tool for shedding the old year and revealing the soft, glowing foundation underneath.
Why Salt is Your Skin’s Best Friend
You don't need a complicated 10-step routine to see a difference. Nature has already done the heavy lifting.
While sugar is a lovely, gentle polisher, sea salt is a natural healer. It’s packed with minerals like magnesium and potassium that help your skin feel replenished, not just cleaned. When you use a salt scrub, you’re doing more than just exfoliating dry skin; you’re helping your body "wake up." The salt gently clears away dullness while encouraging circulation, leaving you feeling energized and renewed.
Your Simple, 3-Step Reset Ritual
Self-care shouldn't feel like a chore or a major investment. It should feel like a deep breath. Here is how to use our all-natural salt scrubs to kick off your year:
- Soften, Steam, & Cleanse: Hop in a warm shower and let the steam do its work for a few minutes. Cleanse your body with your favorite shower gel to remove the day’s impurities. This is your time to quiet the noise of the day.
- The Joyful Scrub: Take a scoop of your favorite salt scrub and massage it in upward, circular motions. Focus on those rough spots like elbows and knees. As you scrub, imagine you’re clearing away the stress of the past year. It feels gritty, satisfying, and incredibly fresh.
- The Glow-Up: Rinse off to reveal noticeably smoother and softer skin. The scrub is loaded with skin-loving natural oils, but you can still increase your skin’s moisture levels. While you’re still damp, follow up with one of our hydrating body oils and pat yourself dry with a clean towel to lock in the moisture. It seals in all that mineral goodness and keeps that "new year glow" going all day long.

Common Questions About Your Skin Reset (FAQ)
- How often should I use a salt scrub? For a healthy reset, we recommend exfoliating 1–2 times a week. This gives your skin plenty of time to renew itself between rituals. If you have very sensitive skin, once a week is a perfect way to keep things glowing without overdoing it.
- Can I use a salt scrub on my face? Because sea salt is quite a powerful exfoliator, we recommend keeping it for your beautiful body. The skin on your face is much more delicate.
- Why should I use a body oil after scrubbing? Think of the scrub as "clearing the path" and the oil as the "nourishment." After you’ve cleared away dry skin, your pores are open and ready to drink in moisture.
