Ingredients for Lavender Sugar Foot Scrub
- 1 Cup Sugar I prefer the natural cane sugar- it is a bit more course and I like the natural brown color. You can use whatever you like.
- Approx 1/4 cup of Grape-seed oil, Sweet Almond oil, or any unscented body oil. You will want the oil that is for body use, not cooking. The NOW brand is a good one.
- 6-10 drops of lavender essential oil (depending on the strength of scent you want)
- glass bowl, metal spoon, empty jar (available at Walmart for $1.97 or you can use a pint size fruit jar.)
**This makes enough for one small jar of scrub-perfect for gift giving.
How To Make Lavender Sugar Scrub
1. Start with one cup of sugar in a glass bowl 2. Add grape-seed oil or sweet almond oil a little at a time and stir until you get the sugar scrub to the consistency that you want. You don’t want it too wet or dry. Just so the sugar is really moistened well. Some of the oil will settle to the bottom of your jar and that is okay! 3. Add drops of lavender essential oil to the sugar and stir. 4. Spoon into clean empty jar and seal tight. Let lavender sugar scrub sit for a day or two to let the scent infuse well. 5. If giving as a gift, you can add a ribbon, tag and any embellishments you like. Total time for this project: 15 minutes I hope you will have fun trying this quick and easy homemade lavender...
