I'm a bath and body products addict, which I guess is pretty normal being that im female. I LOVE sugar scrubs, like if theres one in a store I HAVE to buy it. I must have 5 or 6 at home now. I go through them like crazy. But there kinda pricy and it's always the same scents over and over.
So I made my own :) Its super simple and quite a money saver. I used this recipe-

Ingredients
1 clear plastic jar
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
lemon juice (optional)
scented essential oils (optional)
Directions
1mix the sugar and olive oil in the plastic container. I do not recomend using a glass jar for this, since you will most likely have this in your bathroom.
2add any optional scents you like. I have discovered that adding peppermint oil or orange oil helps refresh you, while lavender is more soothing. My favorite oil to use is sandlewood.
3to use: place some on a wash cloth and rub in circles anywhere you need exfoliation. After letting it sit for awhile the sugar may settle to the bottom, so it may be necessary to shake this up a little before using.
I didn't use the lemon juice, used brown sugar instead of white, and bought a ton of other oils instead of EVOO.
For the first batch I used grapeseed oil, plus a dash of a few others. And I used an Orange EO. The oragne was DD's (for anyone not up on message board lingo thats dear daughter, why they use dear I dont know) choice. I bought everything from a health food grocery store, but im guessing out could find some of it at walmart.
