A Spring Sugar Scrub- Pink Grapefruit {A How To}

It’s time for me to think about spring- our spring offerings in the shop and our Etsy shop. Our new scents and colors have arrived and given me a bit of inspiration.

Scents like maple sugar, ginger, grapefruit, lemon verbena and coconut; new colors named valentine red, baby boy blue, mango, pink punch have me dreaming of far away vacation destinations.

But for now a quick simple sugar scrub recipe to tide me over, thought I would share it with you.

Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup raw sugar

up to 1/4 cup Sweet Almond oil

3-4 drops Grapefruit essential oil

1 drop of food coloring or drop of raspberry juice, beet juice or other natural colorant

2-3 drops of  vitamin E (optional)

Directions:  Mix the sugars together and slowly add the almond oil until you reach the consistency you like.  I like my scrubs less oily so I use a little less than a 1/4 cup.  Add Grapefruit essential oil, food coloring and vitamin E.  Mix well and store in an airtight container.  Good for up to 3 months if kept clean to avoid bacteria. One easy way is to scoop out your sugar scrub with a clean spoon vs your fingers.

To use:  Rub a little bit of the scrub on your body or between your hands with a little bit of water.  Rinse with warm water to remove excess oils.  It will give your skin a nice exfoliation and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and smelling fresh and clean.  Great for use in the shower or bath before bed time.
