Make Your Own Body Scrub



Here's her easy recipe for a luxurious summer scrub you can make in minutes:

You'll need: 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. sweet almond oil
1/2 cup white cane sugar
1-3 drops lavender essential oil

Whisk together the olive oil, sweet almond oil, sugar and essential oil. Pour into a container with an airtight lid. It should last 2-3 weeks if kept away from water (it dissolves the sugar).

Use a tablespoon scoop to dish out a few dollops once or twice a week, scrub, and rinse.

The olive oil is full of vitamins and minerals that can help firm and moisturize (no worries--the smell rinses away). The lavender is great for healing damaged skin like cuts and burns, and regenerating skin cells.

Treat your feet: Swap the sugar for salt for a coarser callous-worthy foot scrub!

I love giving the scrub as gifts!!!
