Some of you may know that I have been working on a sugar scrub recipe for my business. While I have not set on a particular one as of yet, here is one that you can do with items you may have in your kitchen.
You will need a seal tight container such as a jar or even an old shampoo bottle. Make sure the container is washed out and dry before you use it. Now, you can use 2 different types of sugar. Also, the amount of sugar you use will determine how exfoliating the scrub becomes.
So here we go.
You will need:
1 Jar or plastic bottle
3-4 tablespoons of a light vegetable oil such as olive oil
1 cup of brown or white cane sugar
Again, be sure the container you use is cleaned out and dry before using it. Now that you have the jar or bottle ready, the first thing you need to do is to add the sugar. A jar really is best for this, but if you cannot get a hold of one, an old shampoo bottle will do.
Add in your sugar and then add the light oil. Mix it as well as you can.
Test it out in the sink. If you used more sugar than you'd like, continue to add small amounts of vegetable oil until it reaches the consistency you prefer. If it is too thin, you can add more sugar.
Another fun thing to try is to grab your favorite shampoo and use it in place of the vegetable oils. Just do not use the scrub in your hair. I tried it and while it felt nice at first, it gets oily very fast.
Just be careful in the tub or shower. Use the sugar scrub first, then rinse and use a body wash if needed. If you did a mix of shampoo with soap, this step is not necessary. Be sure to clean the tub or shower out after you are done! The oils can make it very slippery and we would not want anyone to slip and fall in the shower.
NOTE: Keep the scrub refrigerated and discard it after 1 month if you do not have a preservative in the house.
There you go! Go ahead, pamper yourself! I promise not to tell anyone.
