How to Make Homemade Body Scrub

Have you ever priced out body scrubs at the department stores? Scary! I'll show you how to make skin softening scrubbing stuff for cheap.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Rice
• Coffee Grinder
• Herbal Tea
• Sugar
• Salt
• Airtight Container

1. Take rice and put it in the coffee grinder. Grind until it's a smooth consistency. Feel free to experiment to find your favorite grind.

2. Dump the ground rice powder into the airtight container. Add a teaspoon or two of sugar and salt. Mix, mix, mix.

3. Now, add herbal tea if you so desire.

4. In the shower, get a handful of the dry scrub, work it into a paste (think corn bread batter) and rub yourself down with it. It feels so incredibly good! Rinse and apply a body lotion afterward. It makes the skin so soft!

Tips & Warnings

• In the summer, mint tea is a lovely addition to the recipe. So cooling!
• Makes a fantastic gift!
• When choosing your herbal tea to add to the scrub, try to avoid cinnamon. Don't ask me how I know.
