Something easy that I love to do is make body scrubs. They are easy, you probably already have everything on hands to make it and there is are so many options that you can tweak the recipe you will decide to do.
This one was made for my mother in law. I decided to do this recipe because I already had everything home to do it, no need to go to the store!
Here are the ingredients required for this scrub are:
3/4 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of coconut oil (I used Nutiva coconut oil from Bulk Barn)
1 bag of green tea
1 tsp of Matcha green tea powder (from Bulk Barn)
Put the sugar and tea in a bowl, mix well and then add the coconut oil. Room temperature is fine, you don't need to melt it before. Using a fork, mix all the ingredients together and BAM! You're done!
It fit in a small 250ml Mason jar I had on hand. If you want to make a bigger batch you can always double or triple the recipe.
How cute is that!!! Last Christmas, I made some Vanilla Chai sugar scrubs and they were a success!
I also noticed that since all the ingredients used are edible, you can keep a little portion of the scrub with your beauty supply and use it on your lips as a lip exfoliate... And you know what, it taste delicious!!!
So go ahead, be crazy, try new "flavours", use different types of sugar, salt, epsom salt (but don't use this one on your lips!), oils (grape seed oil, olive oil, etc.), add mint, rosemary, pepper, lemon peel or any essential oil you love. The sky is the limit!!!!
