Sugar Body Scrub 
An exfoliating body scrub will smooth and soften skin as it increases circulation. And this recipe is so easy to make! Ingredients: 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed Combine the almond oil and essential oil in a bowl. Add the sugar and mix thoroughly. Store in a clean, glass jar. To use the sugar scrub, gently massage in circular motions over your entire body... but not your face. Wash off in the shower or tub. Voilá... ultra smooth, glowing skin! Exfoliating Body Scrub Tips Almond oil is a powerful skin softener. But you can substitute other oils if you prefer. Apricot oil and grape-seed oil are both good choices. Choose an essential oil to enhance your mood:
Note: Do not use citrus oil (such as orange oil, lemon oil, or grapefruit oil) on skin within 12 hours of sun exposure. Citrus oil leaves skin vulnerable to sunburn and discoloration. If your skin is dry, use the sugar scrub once a week. For oily skin and problem areas, such as elbows and heels, apply the scrub 2-3 times per week. Body scrubs are not recommended for tender facial skin. And never use on irritated skin. If you have a sunburn, a rash or open cut, skip the scrub. Don't Slip! As with any product that contains oil, a body scrub will make the tub or shower slippery. Use with caution and give the tub its own "scrub" when you're done. (Okay... so cleaning the tub is not so spa-like). This sugar scrub recipe is quick to make and great for skin. The addition of essential oil can lift your spirit or calm stressed nerves. Whip up a batch and enjoy... your skin will thank you! Find all natural body oils and pure essential oils at Mountain Rose Herbs. Mountain Rose Herbs
