- Basic Scrub Recipe:
- 1 tablespoon pure safflower, sweet almond or
grapeseed oils (as a base oil)
- 1 1/2 cups pure granulated cane sugar (for sensitive
or delicate skin) or same amount of granulated raw sugar for
normal skin.
- 3/4 to 1 1/2 cups raw, unfiltered honey
(organic, if possible)
- 20 to 30 drops of essential oil of lavender
- 10 drops essential oil of rose geranium (if
desired)
- USE GLOVES when using any type of Essential
Oil, especially rose or eucalyptus.
- pour the base oil into a bowl containing the
sugar and toss with your fingers until it feels like the oil is
evenly distributed, coating the grains of sugar. Add the
honey, a little at a time, until the mixture forms a very soft
paste. If you can form it into little piles that hold
their shape, you need to add more honey; don't dilute it with
water. When you have achieved a spreadable consistency,
blend in the essential oils. You'll have enough scrub for
one or two treatments. To store leftover scrub,
refrigerate in a covered glass container. Use within two
weeks.
