Brown Sugar Body Scrub
For dry winter skin and rough elbows. It smells like a bakery and leaves skin impossibly soft.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar (or white sugar for sensitive skin)
- 1/2 cup sweet almond oil
- 10 drops frankincense essential oil (optional)
Steps
- Stir the sugar and oil together until you have wet sand.
- Fold in essential oil if using.
- Pack into a jar.
- Massage a spoonful onto damp skin in the shower, then rinse.
Storage
Sealed jar at room temperature, up to 3 months. Don't introduce water into the jar — scoop with dry fingers.
⚠️ Safety notes
- Slippery shower — use a bath mat.
- Patch test first; skip on the face and broken skin.
Patch test every new body recipe on the inside of your forearm and wait 24 hours before full use. Stop using anything that irritates your skin. Essential oils in leave-on products stay at a 1–2% dilution — a little truly goes a long way.
