Okay, I've totally been looking forward to writing this blog for everyone! Ok, so I'm cheap....like wait for the thrift store to have 50% off kinda cheap. I'm always looking for ideas for Christmas and DIY projects to save money and while looking for a homemade sugar scrub all I could find were recipes where the ingredients cost a bundle and were complicated. This recipe is CHEAP and so simple a 5 year old could do it.
A great idea to use this for is Christmas gifts!! The retail price of sugar scrubs go anywhere from $6.00 up to $40.00. You can put this scrub in a cute little air tight jar and wrap a ribbon or some twine around the neck with a cute gift tag. Splitting your mixture into different bowls, you can add different color food colors and make layered designs in your container. So many fun ideas !
1/2 Cup of base oil ( Pressed coconut oil or almond oil)
1/2 Cup of sugar ( brown or white your preference )4-5 Drops essential oil
Mix this all together and add it to your container. These will keep for about 2 months. To the right, you can see a few ideas on some blends. I didn't even blend my first one and just did grapefruit. They have so many and these are just a sample.Try googling for yourself some essential oil blends see what you can find.
This scrub is AMAZING for feet. It exfoliates the dead skin away and makes them so soft. You can also use it on your hands and face. With your face, I would be careful because the sugar is sort of rough on the skin.
