Easy Homemade Sugar Scrub

So I make this for myself all the time. It's inexpensive, easy and fun to customize. This year, I made a big batch and gave it out to friends for Christmas!




The Basic Recipe

2 parts sugar (I typically use granulated, and then throw in a spoonful or 2 of raw sugar and a sprinkle of sea salt for fun!)
1 part olive oil (or coconut oil)

Mix in everything in a bowl. Add whatever you want and put in jars!

That's it. But the fun part is adding the goodness! For this batch, I did two styles.
Lavender Rosemary (a couple drops of Lavender oil and 2 pinches of dried Rosemary) and Cocoa Vanilla (a couple drops vanilla extract and a big pinch of cocoa powder).

Other Add-in Ideas:

-Cinnamon with Brown Sugar
-Vitamin E Oil
-Sandalwood Oil
-Dried herbs like thyme, rosemary or even dried tea-- perhaps chai, chamomile or earl grey!
-Lemon essential oil and dried mint or basil

The best part- this can be used on your face! It exfoliates and moisturizes, eliminating the need for face moisturizer.
Now, steam up the shower and enjoy!!
