Recipe for Homemade Sugar Scrub

Makes a Great Mother's Day Present!
Ingredients
  • Clean and dry glass or plastic jars with tight fitting lids
  • 1/4 cup jojoba, almond or baby oil
  • A couple of tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • Essential oil (like lavender)
  • 1 cup of brown sugar

Directions:

  1. Mix the brown sugar and the white sugar together in a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Mix the liquid ingredients together in a small bowl. First the oil, lemon juice, and finally the essential oil. Add this in small increments, incorporating as you go to reach the desired fragrence potency.
  3. Combine liquids with the sugars and mix until a paste consistency is achieved. Add more oil if the mixture seems too dry, or more sugar if it is too wet.
  4. Add the scrub mixture to your containers and seal with a tight fitting lid.
