Notes

Apply to skin, massage in a gentle circular motion, and rinse well. Store leftover scrub in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Simpler almond white sugar scrub: 1 cup white granulated sugar, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon almond extract; apply to damp skin, massage, rinse. Safety: patch test; sweet orange oil can cause sun sensitivity; almond extract is a concern for nut allergies; oil makes the tub slippery.
