How To Make Sugar Scrub
Step One
Mix some of the sugar and all of the oil in a bowl.
For the best homemade body scrub, we used fine white sugar as it is gentle on all skin types and can be dyed to make an extra pretty homemade gift.
Step two
Add the Lemon and Mint essential oils while stirring the mixture. For our sugar scrub recipe, we found about 10 drops but this will vary, depending on the type of oil and the quality of oil you use.
You may only need a few drops of the stronger scented Mint but a few more for the Lemon oil.
If you wish to color your sugar scrub add the food coloring at this point. The lemon peel can be added now too.
Step Three
Add the rest of your sugar until it is the consistency you want. If you have dry skin you may want an oilier consistency.
Step Four
Put your sugar scrub into a container. We love to put ours in
