Simple Homemade Scrub August 12, 2008

This is a simple recipe for a homemade body scrub. 

INGREDIENTS 

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar 
  • 1/3 cup oatmeal
  • 3 tblsp Olive oil or baby oil [as needed]
  • 1 tblsp honey [optional but is very good with binding the mixture and its always great for your skin]
  • 1 tsp herbs [you can get this from tea bags like chinese green tea or any herbal teabag]
  • 2 tblsp water
  • 1 vitamin E capsule (or you can use fish oil capsules)

You will need to combine the dry ingredients in a blender. Add the oil, vitamine e capsule, and water [as needed].  Blend until sugar and oats are to your desired texture.  Pour into a bowl and add honey.  Stir well.  Bottle paste and store in the refridgerator.  Can last up to about 10 days. Its important that as you take out mixture that you use a clean utensil. Enjoy.. You can also add a drop or two or peppermint oil if you like or even a few drops of lemon juice, if desired. 

I must mention special thanks to my friend, Arlene, who started me on homemade scrubs..and whose ideas i have stolen :)
