Instructions

    • 1

      Pour the sugar into a small bowl. Use the storage container for this if you want to keep the amount of dirty dishes to a minimum.

    • 2

      Add the olive oil slowly, stirring as you pour. Mix the sugar and olive oil thoroughly.

    • 3

      Drop 2 to 3 drops of essential oil into the scrub. Peppermint and orange oils make you feel energized. Lavender and sandalwood leave you feeling relaxed.

      Pour the sugary mix into the jar or storage container. Secure a lid onto the container. If the lid is left open it attracts ants and other insects.

    • 5

      Shake the jar or container before using the sugar scrub. Apply a small amount of scrub to a washcloth or loofah. Rub the scrub onto your skin in small circles. Allow the scrub to sit on the skin for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

      Rinse out the bathtub or sink after using a sugar scrub. If the residue of the scrub is left to sit, insects will be attracted to it.
