Although we have moved into the full bloom of spring and we are eager to be in clothing that doesn’t cover us from head to toe, our skin may still be showing the drying effects of winter. Try this recipe for a homemade brown sugar skin scrub. It is easy to make, contains no chemicals, and will provide you with silky-smooth skin.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic brown sugar
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup almond, soybeans, hazelnut, or macadamia nut base oil
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon, powdered
- 2 teaspoons ginger, powdered
- 2 teaspoons nutmeg, powdered
- 40 drops of cardamom essential oil
In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredients except the essential oil. Using a whisk, blend ingredients thoroughly, making sure to break up any lumps of brown sugar or spice. Add the essential oil drop by drop, blending after each addition.
Spoon into a storage container with a tight-fitting lid. No refrigeration is required, but for maximum freshness and fragrance, please use it within six months.
Massage some scrub onto pre-moistened skin using circular motions. Rinse.
