Use these all over your body (but not your face) to make your skin glow and feel silky soft. So so simple everyone should be making these! All you need is Sugar (can be brown or white) oil (enough to make the sugar a nice wet mix) essential oils of your choice and some plastic containers or recycled glass jars with lids. I kid you not...that is it! If you are making these as gifts you can make up cool little tags or just write on the jars with a Sharpe. I used some old doilies as little covers for the lids, you could use anything you like. Once you have this basic receipe (above) you can go wild and add all sorts of goodies to the mix! Just remember use only natural ingredients and always add a heaped tablespoon of love to everything you make!
Spicy Delight
1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 3/4 cup apricot oil 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg powder 40 drops of cardamom essential oil Mix everything together and bottle.
Rose Petal Power
1 cup sugar teaspoon of aloe Vera gel 25 drops of Rose Geranium essential oil 3 tablespoons of avocado oil 2 pinches of dried rose petals 3 teaspoons of beetroot juice for pink colour. (Cut a small beetroot in half, place in pot with a little filtered water. Put on stove top and heat until you have a nice coloured liquid) Mix everything together and bottle.
Expresso Scrub
( don’t use this one if you have really sensitive skin) 1/2 cup ground coffee 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup coarse sea salt 2/4 apricot oil Mix everything together and bottle.
Zesty Lemon - just add to basic reciepe lemon juice and rind of a small lemon.
Vanilla Pie - just add vanilla extract some aloe Vera gel and vanilla pod (cause it looks cool!) to basic receipe
If you are adding plant material to your scrubs best to add a little aloe Vera gel as this is a natural preservative ( from lotus oils) Just on a safety note your shower or bath may be a little slippery after you have used your scrubs so best to give a quick clean. Enjoy xx
