DIY Sugar Body Scrubs




I made these yummie smelling sugar scrubs as favors for the friends that came to our baby shower. I wanted something easy, and something that I could do different scents/flavors with. I found a few recipes online for sugar scrubs and after some experimenting came up with my own recipe. They were really easy to make, smelled delish, and leave your hands/body extra soft! Below are my favorite recipes.

I bought the little jars at Michaels, they came with the cork, labels and hemp to tie on the labels.
As you can tell you can pretty much change up the essential oils to make whatever scent you want.

1 Cup plain white sugar

Simply combine all ingredients together, I use Young Living essential oils as they are completely safe for consumption. So these sugar scrubs are all natural and can be eaten (if you really want to eat sugary oil!)
