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.
