SUGAR SCRUB
I'am a huge fan of Bath and Body works Aromatherapy (Sleep) Lavender Vanilla sugar scrub
....however , I tend to go through it so fast that $16 a pop adds up....so, I decided to check out some homemade sugar scrub recipes and give it a try (you can to!) It definitely varies from anything that comes from the store, but its worth a shot.


Ingredients You Will Want For Your Brown Sugar Scrub

  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Sweetened Almond Oil
  • 1 tsp Vitamin E (I cut open a couple Vitamin E liquid gel caps)
  • 1/2-1 tsp Vanilla Extract



Optional Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions

  • The amount of almond oil you use will depend on your personal preference and skin type, experiment with more or less oil until you get your perfect mix.
  • You can substitute the almond oil for pure sesame oil (not roasted). extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil or any other oil you like that is suitable for the skin.  I prefer almond oil due to the many benefits of almond oil on the skin.
  • In place of the vanilla extract you can use your favorite essential oil or fragrance oil.  Or if you are in a pinch you can leave it out altogether as it's mainly included for added aroma.
  • The Vitamin E is also not a necessity but it adds some skin nourishment to the brown sugar scrub.
  • You can add a little honey for extra moisturizing on dry skin.
