Adding Exfoliant to Salt Bar?

[MellonFriend]

My sister requested I make her an exfoliating soap bar to replace her favorite body wash. After doing some looking, I realized that making her a salt bar might be a good idea for her since she has oily, acne prone skin. My question is do salt bars feel exfoliating or should I add an exfoliant to give it the grittier feel she's looking for?

I put coffee grounds in my salt bars. Both the salt and the coffee act as scrubby ingredients and deodorizers. But some folks do find it too scratchy with the coffee, and say that the salt alone is enough. Worth a try!

My salt bars are pretty smooth during use and if I wanted any exfoliation, I would have to add something. I use 50% of the oil weight in fine salt.

ETA: I like poppy seeds, ground up a little, as an exfoliant.

I have experienced different textures with my salt bars. It must have to do with the brand of salt. I always use fine but I have used different brands. Some of mine have come out incredibly smooth and others are noticeably exfoliating.
