All Natural Sugar Scrub

Hello to all my lovely naturals,

I know that I have been on a hair kick so I want to balance things out with some other natural products that I thoroughly enjoy. Making your own sugar scrub is amazing and everyone will love it, and I figured with the holidays so close you can give your little home made goodies out for gifts!

1. You will need to acquire some glass jars make sure they are clean and free from tomato sauce ; )

2. Decide on what type of scrub you are making you can use:
    Coffee-Caffine will tighten the skin
    Salt-Kosher or sea salt
    Sugar-Cane sugar or brown sugar (for the face)

3. What oil you would like to use:
    Coconut Oil (my fav)
    Olive Oil
    Sweet Orange Oil

4. You will need a preservative to make sure that the scrub does not go bad
     ie tea tree oil or another of my favorites a drop of honey

5. Add whatever extras you would like be it essential oil, vanilla extract,or maybe even some pumpkin spice...get creative have fun!


Okay so now that you have the basics you are ready to make your scrub remember to only use 2 part exfoliate to 1 part oil. If you decide to use essential oil I think 15-20 drops should do. When I made these for Fathers Day I made a coffee scrub with coconut oil and vanilla extract. It was a big hit and my husband used it like everyday. I also made a brown sugar scrub for my face with coconut oil, a drop of honey, and vanilla. I just recently made a sugar scrub with orange zest,lemon zest, and a drop of tea tree oil. So there you have it making sugar scrub have never been so easy. Just remember that you will need to use tea tree oil or honey as a preservative because if not it will go rancid. I love sugar scrub but I love it even more now that I know the ingredients are all natural.



Always,



Verano
