Sugar and Salt Scrub Recipes 

remember to follow with Body Butter or Lotion

Making DIY scrubs are so fun and easy. There are tons of recipes out there to enjoy. Here are a few of my favorites to share with you. At the end of the post there are references where to get supplies to make your own scrubs. My daughter really enjoys making scrubs with me and we have had make and take gift parties that are a lot of fun to do, some even ate the scrub as they were making it.  It is also a great way to share your favorite essential oils with others. When you give the gift of a scrub, it is made with love and the person receiving is going to love it.
