Simple Scrub Recipe
A delightful and simple make, for yourself or as a gift .
Method
Ingredients and Equipment
- 3 tbsp White Sugar
- 1 tbsp Table Salt
- 5-6 tsp Sweet almond oil or other of your choosing (olive oil from the cupboard will work
- Measuring Spoons
- Silicone spatula
- Small bowl metal or plastic will work
How To
- Step 1
measure the sugar & salt into a samll bowl, no glass (this will be taken into your bathroom)
- Step 2
Add the liquid oil, a teaspoon at a time, stirring with the spatula between additions
- Step 3
You’ve added enough oil when all the sugar and salt is wet & the mixture oozes a little oil when sat
- Step 4
I tend to do a body scrub before cleaning my bath, nothing more annoying than having to clean it again !
To use, take a little scrub into your palm & gently massage into your skin in circular motions always towards the heart.
Rinse off in the shower or bath & always be careful as surface can become slippery
Now your skin will feel buffed & Hydrated
If you don’t think you will use the entire amount in one go, divide it in half before use.
Your’e very likely to introduce water if used & once this happens you’ll need to use it up quickly as it will spoil & spread mould really fast (within a day or two)
The half set aside that hasn’t been exposed to water will last much longer (around a month) if stored in an airtight container.
Happy DIY-ing
