Trusting Him - Sugar Scrub

Sugar Scrub

After using a sugar scrub (store-bought) at my sil over Thanksgiving, I decided I could make some of this myself. I looked up several different recipes online. I used the basic idea from several sites and came up with this recipe:

Needed:

Plastic container (I used the small round containters from the $ Tree that hold approx. 1 1/2 cups - --4 containers in the pack)
brown sugar
olive oil
essential oil

Directions:

In the plastic container, place about 3/4 c of brown sugar. Add enough olive oil to cover and have about 1/2 inch of oil left on top of the sugar. Add 1/2 tsp of sandalwood essential oil. Stir.

Rub on skin and rinse off. Use in shower before bathing.

Use weekly or monthly to remove dead skin and moisturize.
It is wonderful as a foot scrub. I have been using this the past few weeks on my heels and they haven't looked this good since I was a child!!

Warning: be careful when using this in the tub. The tub will become slippery!! I use a little of inexpensive shampoo and quickly scrub down the tub after.

This sounds so easy to make, thank you for sharing it! I made some bath salts for Christmas, this will be my next project.

from Penni: This is super simple! I have found that frosting containers (I was given a couple) work great as well to put these in. Thanks for your nice comment!
