body scrubs! (text only)
Dec. 16th, 2005 12:19 amJust out of curiosity, what are your favorite body scrubs to make?
I've only made one so far -- Coffee Body Scrub. I took regular coffee grinds, Epson salts and mixed in a bit of olive oil. I used it over the summer to keep my feet in top shape and it was great! It's definitely too rough for the face (even though I've used it on my face when out of facial scrub because I'm a trooper), but works great all over the body. Since I'm just about out of my coffee scrub (I'll probably use up the rest tomorrow), I think I might refill my jar with an Orange Spice Brown Sugar Scrub by taking brown sugar, olive oil and mixing in a bit of orange spice essential oil. Sounds delicious! I'll update on the exact recipe when it's made and I'll have a picture, as well. If the scrubs turn out well (I'm also going to try a cocoa sugar scrub), I might sent some jars to friends for Christmas. :D So do share your scrub creations! I'd love to see your variations!
