Jan. 24, 2008 - Homemade recipe for SUGAR SCRUB

I started making my own body sugar scrubs just before the holidays.  I ended up giving several as gifts.  They are WONDERFUL!  They are EVERY BIT as good as those you get from BATH AND BODY WORKS!    The recipients of this gift have been asking for the recipe, so that only reinforces how good this product really is.  To buy it at the store, it runs about $12.00.  This recipe costs you only PENNIES! 

Homemade Sugar Scrub

Get a small plastic container.  Add a little canola oil (or baby oil) then add sugar and mix until sugar is wet.  Continue alternating until the container is nearly full.  (I did not measure my ingredients so I cannot tell you how much sugar and oil to use.)  I add about 7 drops of essential oil (from Bath and Body Works).  The sweet cinnamon pumpkin smells wonderful.  Close the container and let it set overnight.  Check in the morning to see if there is a pool of oil on the top.  If there is, add a little more sugar and let it set for a few hours.  Use in the tub or shower.  It will take care of that itchy, dry skin and leave your skin feeling silky smooth!

Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe...I will definitely have to give it a try. My daughters inherited their daddy's extremely dry skin and we have looked all over for a lotion to help. Maybe this will work for them, plus I can make it smell good. :-)

Thanks for the recipe. I'll have to pass it along to my daughters...maybe even make them some for Valentine's Day. I've been trying think of something special for them that wouldn't be too expensive.
