A friend's daughter made a sugar scrub and I loved it so much, but ran out after using it daily. I've used salt scrubs in the past, but sometimes the salt actually burns. Sugar scrubs are much more user-friendly! I use this on my hands and on the heels of my feet. My cuticles actually look better. Here's a recipe, if you'd like to give it a try or give as a gift. Any Mom, teacher or friend would surely love this.2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup Extra-Virgin olive oil or safflower oil
(I used 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 c. EVOO)
lemon extract, desired amount
the zest of a lemon
Mix all together and put in jars to give as gifts.

Great gift idea.
ReplyDeleteKitty, I'm back to report that I made this scrub this morning, and both my husband and I love it! Made it without the lemon extract because I didn't have any, and just used the zest. I'm also going to add some dried lavender to a small amount and see how I like it :-) I just filled two jars for my sisters, and I'll be giving one to my mom for Mother's Day. I am your newest follower!
