Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ΒΌ cup cupcarrier oil (such as almond oil, jojoba oil, or coconut oil)
- 15-20 drops lavender essential oil
- 1 tsp driedlavender buds (optional, for added texture and visual appeal)
Instructions
- Place the granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. This will be the exfoliating component of your scrub.
- Pour your chosen carrier oil over the sugar. The carrier oil will moisturize and nourish your skin. Start with 1/4 cup and adjust as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
- Drop 15-20 drops of lavender essential oil into the mixture. Adjust the amount based on your preference for the strength of the lavender scent.
- If you have dried lavender buds, add them to the mixture. These not only contribute to the lovely lavender aroma but also provide a gentle, additional exfoliation.
- Stir the ingredients together until well combined. Ensure that the sugar is evenly coated with the oil and essential oil.
- If the scrub seems too dry, add a bit more carrier oil. If it's too wet, add more sugar until you achieve a consistency that is easy to scoop and apply.
- Once you are satisfied with the consistency, transfer the lavender sugar scrub to a clean, airtight container. A glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid works well.
- Store the lavender sugar scrub in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is tightly closed to prevent any moisture from getting in.
