This is a great body scrub you make at home and feels great.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons of avocado oil
  • ¼ cup of your favorite liquid soap
  • ½ cup of chopped cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons essential oil
  1. Step 1

    Mix the cup of brown sugar, cup of white sugar and course Sea Salt together in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    In another bowl mix the avocado oil, and liquid body soap either scented or unscented if you prefer only one scent. You can also get the Castile soap in Cinnamon from the health food store or a scented one that when adding the essential oil it will blend with. I provided more ideas in hints below.

  3. Step 3

    Chop cranberries very fine or use a blender until you have 1/2 cup. Add mixture into the avocado oil mixture and mix well.

  4. Step 4

    Combine all into the sugar mix and blend together in a bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Add in 2 tablespoons of essential oil. Store in a airtight container.

  6. Step 6

    When in the shower, rub all over from head to toes in your regular warm shower. Once done, rinse with as cold as you can stand it water.

  7. Step 7

    If you prefer you can use these ingredients in place of the cranberries.
    Juice from ½ of a grapefruit or a lemon. You can also grate a whole lemon or lime and use that.

Tips & Warnings
  • vanilla body soap and lemon verbana oil
  • vanilla body soap and a orange citrus
  • vanilla body soap and bergamot
  • Cinnamon castile soap and vanilla oil
  • Pear body soap
  • You can create many different scents by combining different smelling body soap with different essential oils
