Sugar Scrubs are easy to mix together from ingredients you have at home. They are used to exfoliate the skin, which means to get rid of dead skin cells. You apply it straight to your skin and rub it around so the sugar granules can "scrub" off the dead skin. It is also a great (and fun) way to apply essential oils to your skin. I used this sugar scrub on my face, and it left my skin feeling refreshed, soft, and healthy! I'm sure it would feel heavenly on your feet or back as well!
Recipe:
1 Cup granulated sugar
1/2 Cup oil (I used grapeseed. You could use any fatty oil, such as olive oil or coconut oil.)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
5 Drops Young Living peppermint essential oil
5 Drops Young Living lemon essential oil
Mix sugar and oil together in a bowl, then add lemon juice and oils. Experiment with different oils for different flavors and uses. Some suggestions are: Frankincense, Melaleuca, Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Carrot Seed.
