Super Simple Homemade Moisturizing Exfoliating Scrub
3 01 2008In response to learning more about toxic chemicals in makeup and cosmetics, I’ve decided to make more and more things myself, and make them as easy and inexpensive as possible!
The Simple Scrub Recipe
The easiest, luxurious body scrub I’ve made so far are made by mixing either sugar or salt or a combination of both with olive oil, until the texture is to your liking.
I used this on my face and my entire body, standing in the shower as I scrubbed it in. Take care not to rub too hard, of course!
For the most moisturizing results, you can scrub this on your body and then just rinse it off with warm water, but I did it before my regular shower.
After my shower, I applied my new homemade Orange Lotion to everywhere but my face!
A number of different oils would work fine for this. Almond might have a less “savory” smell than olive oil. Also, jojoba oil, though much more expensive, is said to be very close to the human body’s natural oil. You could also try putting in a few drops of your favorite essential oil to enhance the scent.
