How many of you love the smooth and supple feeling of your skin after you’ve used body scrub?

Others have told me how easy it was to make your own and over the past few months I gained confidence in making my own body butters so I knew this wouldn’t be a feat. Halfway through our last jar I vowed not to buy anymore and to make my own body scrubs at home instead.

I found a simple recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a try this week. I was able to make with ingredients I already had in my home.

I must say that we think it turned out phenomenal. I can confidently say that I will never drop another dime on body scrub.

Here is what you will need:

2 cups of sugar
1 cup scented baby oil (You can use any oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, sweet almond oil and the list goes on!)
3-5 pumps of hand soap or body wash
Essential oil (optional)
You will need  a container to put it in. I washed and reused the jar from the last body scrub I purchased. 
I also advise finishing a bowl that you don’t mind tossing out to mix it in. I used a chinese take out container.

Mix the two. If its a little too dry for your liking add more baby oil until you reach your desired consistency. If you want to alter the scent, add a few drops of lemon juice, essential oil, etc. Baby oil has a strong scent so it’s hard to mix other fragrances with it. If you want a certain fragrance use a less frangranced oil.

And TaDAA!

Here is my finished product.
