day 2: easy holiday gift ideas
For Day 2 of Easy Holiday Gift Ideas, I'm bringing you an easy homemade sugar scrub recipe that makes your hands feel like silk! I absolutely love this recipe because the sugar exfoliates your skin and the oils moisturize it all at the same time. I love how my hands feel afterwards and it makes a great gift! Put it in a cute glass jar and add a loofah and you're set.
WHAT YOU NEED
- 1 part oil - You can use baby oil, Vitamin E oil, or coconut oil
- 2 parts sugar - Use regular sugar for normal skin or brown sugar for sensitive skin
- 5-7 drops of essential oil - I used lavendar oil which is good for normal-dry skin. Jasmine is good for sensitive skin and peppermint is good for oily skin.
- Loofah
- Container - I got mine from Target
HOW TO MAKE
- Mix the oils together until combined.
- Add the sugar and mix well.
- Put into containers.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Put a tablespoon of the sugar scrub on dry skin and scrub with your hands or loofah in a circular motion.
- After a few minutes, rinse with warm water.
- You are all clean! The sugar has exfoliated your skin and the oils have softened and moisturized. You do not even need to moisturize afterward!
