What did I do over the weekend?
Brown sugar scrub makin'! My skin, especially my (yucky) feet, needed it.
I love this stuff! S0-I'm sharing the super simple recipe in case anyone else would like to fall in love with it, too.
Brown Sugar Scrub
Basic Ingredients that I'm sure you have at home, if not they are easy to find.
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. oil <- I used grapeseed oil, but you can use any seed oil, even olive oil
1.5ml fragrance oil <- optional
That's it. Mix it up in a small bowl.
Using the scrub: Massage mixture into your skin. You can leave it on for a few minutes like I do, then rinse. Voila- soft, hydrated skin.
It's heavenly.
Cautions and stuff:
Be careful in the tub or shower, this stuff is slippery.
If you are a diabetic, try replacing the sugar with salt- works great, too.
Happy Monday!

What a neat idea. I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Jen--I bought a brown sugar scrub at Bath&Body works and it was expensive--you can bet I'll be trying this!!
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! Hi Jen!
ReplyDeleteI love that this scrub is sooooo easy to make!
You can add so many different things to it, too. Such as honey or ground oatmeal. Just remember there is no preservative- so it won't keep long before growing germies. :)
I have tried brown suagr with vanilla and I have also tried grapeseed oil with epsom salts.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to give your recipe a try! It sounds fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI might even package it up in tiny canning jars and give as gifts at our church women's getaway in march. Any other ideas?
