I am giving this 5 stars for a couple of reasons. First, IMHO, anything that you can make at home and with natural ingredients beats any chemical laden product that you buy at the store. Second, when DW is happy....everybody is happy. And this stuff makes her REALLY happy! Tip: After you wash, step out of the stream of your shower (better yet, turn off the water) scoop up about a tablespoon or two of the oily salt and rub vigorously onto your arms and legs, moving in long strokes on your limbs, circular strokes on your joints (elbows, knees), working up from the feet and hands toward your heart. Step back into the stream of the shower and rinse this concoction off yourself. Now towel dry. You'll notice that your skin is glowing and smooth. If you feel too oily, rinse longer or start with a 'grainy mix' with less oil in your jar.
