Home Made Citrus Sugar Scrub

While on the below mentioned Wine Tour, we stopped into a sumptuous artisan gift shop of hand made items. Beautiful pottery bowls, handwoven textiles, silver jewelry and a lovely assortment of all natural beauty products. The best part was that they were all open in the bathroom so you could try anything you wanted! I was particularly taken with a Citrus Sugar scrub that smelled luxurious, looked yummy and made the skin on my hands nice and soft. The price was $14.99! The bottle boasted, "Look at my Ingredients" being that I like to follow directions I obliged. The only thing in this scrub was sugar, some oils and some citrus essential oil! OMG! I have everything at home already!

So last night I whipped some up using:

1/2 Cup Sugar
A little Olive oil
A little Coconut oil (use a little oil at a time until sugar becomes a smooth paste)
a few drops of citrus essential oil

That was it! Free for me because I already had everything. You could use different oils and scents I imagine but that was pretty much it. All you need to do is rub it on your skin and rinse and you'll feel smooth and smell great!
