I love this scrub for super soft hands and feet, and even use it all over! It's luxury for pennies.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Granulated Sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • Olive Oil
  • Pure Vanilla Extract optional

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Choose any container you like for storing your finished product, so long as it has a tight fitting lid. I like to re-use tubs that held body lotion or some such, but even a plastic freezer container will work!

    Measure equal parts granulated sugar & white sugar to fit your container, and mix well with a whisk or fork. Add it to your container.

  2. 2

    Add oil. This step requires patience. Pour it in and let it bubble down to the bottom, then pour in a little more, and so on and so forth. Mix it around with a spoon if you need to {I did}, it will speed up the process. Add a little more oil until your scrub is just the right texture and consistency for you. Mix well again.

  3. 3

    You can add vanilla extract (or any essential oil you like, say orange or almond) at this point, about 1/2 tsp. or extract or 5-10 drops of essential oil. When you are all done mixing, it should look like this!

  4. 4

    Clean off your jar, secure the lid, and add a fancy ribbon for gifting, or keep it for yourself! Use in your shower a couple of times a week, or before an at-home manicure or pedicure. (keep it out of your eyes, and rinse your tub well after). You will feel and smell heavenly.
