Sugar scrub
Be the first to rate it
Cane sugar, olive oil, raw honey and essential oils. Massage onto damp skin and rinse.
What You’ll Need
- 2 cup Organic Cane Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Raw Honey
- 5-10 drops each (personal preference) Peppermint Essential Oil and Wild Orange Essential Oil
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- mason jars
Directions
- Place everything in a small bowl and stir well. The texture should be clumpy and grainy; if it seems runny, stir in more sugar, one tablespoon at a time.
- If you like, add a few extra drops of essential oil.
- Scoop into a jar (small jam-sized mason jars work nicely) and dress it up with a ribbon or gift tag.
Notes
Tag: take a small amount and massage into skin in the shower or tub; it is mild enough to use as a lip or face scrub. Substitutions : regular sugar for cane sugar (brown sugar should work); almond or another oil for olive oil; coconut oil works but solidifies when cool. Store in a cool, dry place such as a cupboard; lasts a few months, less if water gets into the jar. For sensitive skin, leave out the essential oils.
