DIY Sugar Scrubs

I love DIY projects! There is just something so gratifying about making something from scratch that is personalized to you. Which is why you will see so many DIY projects on this page! There is so much you can do for your health from your own home! Which brings me to today's Bellissime Sorelle DIY project - Sugar Scrubs!

I swear by these! I love being able to tailor them to my specific needs! It only takes about 10 minutes to make them and they last for weeks! Plus, they are cheap and so insanely good for you!

Ingredients

1 Cup Carrier Oil of your Choice

1 Cup Granulated Sugar

10-15 drops of Essential Oils of your Choice (combined)

Depending on the container you have, you might want to make a smaller amount of scrub! For my little mason jar, I do a 1/2 cup of carrier oil and a 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Just make sure to do equal parts of sugar and oil and leave a little room at the top of you container so you can mix it well before each use!

Directions-

     Step 1 -  Combine equal parts of your carrier oil and sugar in a bowl.

     Step 2 - Add your choice of essential oils! This is the best part! You can mix and match different        oils depending on your needs. Need some ideas? See the bottom of the post for some of our

     favorite combos. All of oils together should come out to 10-15 drops (don't do 10-15 drops per 

     oil!)

     Step 3 - Store in an air tight container to prevent mold. Make sure the container is made of glass
     as plastic will absorb the essential oils you put in.

That's it! So easy right? And as long as you prevent water from getting into your container as much as possible and keep the lid on when not in use, this scrub can last for weeks! Just leave in the shower and you'll always have a great exfoliater within reach!
