Self Love + Self Care Body Scrub

With Valtneidnes Day almost here and me having the theme of Self Love and Self Care come up in many conversations lately I thought it would be timely to share my body scrub with you all. I love making this at home because I get to thank all the indewgreidents one by one as I use them.

♡ 1 cup of sugar 

I use coconut, brown or cane.

♡ 1/4 - 1/2 cup of a carrier oil 

I use coconut or grape seed.

♡ intuitive amount of pure vanilla drops

I use probably 4-6 drops. 

First I mix the sugar and oil. After that’s whisked a good amount I add in the vanilla! I’ve also made one with lavender oil and lavender herbs instead of vanilla drops, it just depends on what you’re in the mood for.

Make sure to put it in a glass jar afterwards for storage.

The consistency should be sandy, not soupy! If the mix is too soupy, the sugars will dissolve in a day or two and not exfoliate the skin as well, but you will still get added moisture from the oil. If you don’t want it as soupy, add more sugar.
