For Mother's Day, I am making my Mom and Mother in law a homemade sugar scrub as part of their gifts. They are easy to make, economical, and much healthier than store bought scrubs. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

2/3 cup Turbinado sugar
1/2 cup grape seed oil
2-4 Tbsp. honey
12 drops essential oils of choice (I used lemon)

Directions

Mix ingredients and place in a clean, air tight, glass container.

To use: Rub desired amount in gentle, circular motions on areas you wish to exfoliate, avoiding the face. Rinse and repeat if necessary.

You can easily customize this recipe by using different sugars, oils, and essential oils. You can also use salt in place of the sugar.

Just a quick word about scrubs that have oil in them- they make your feet and tub/shower surface very slippery. So if you use them, sit down while using and clean surface of tub/shower and the bottom of your feet before you stand or take a step. Keep your soap to clean and tools handy (like a mop so you don't have to bend over).

Do I have to refrigerate this after use? How long will it last? Won't it spoil eventually? Thanks!
