I love me a good sugar scrub. So I decided to make some this season. I mean…..how hard could it be right?
I picked up some Almond Oil……some people use olive or sesame, but I wouldn’t use a regular veggie oil.
I used organic sugar that looks a bit off white in color and have also used a brown granulated sugar……before they add what ever they add to make it moist.
I picked up some essential oils from my local Whole Foods. I bought Jasmine and Sweet Orange. The Jasmine will run you about $13, but the sweet orange is only about $7. Both smell great.
I found my jars at Fred Meyer……a one stop shopping store. I bet Target, walmart etc. would have these too. Jars were $3.99.
Mix oil and sugar together until the sugar is moist. Add several drops of jasmine or whatever scent you choose.
Getting into the jar was a cinch too. I cut the bottom out of a plastic baggy. Placed the open bottom end inside the jar. Using a large serving spoon, I scooped the wonderful scrub inside. Gently pull the bag free, close the lid and wrap your bow around it.
You are done!
I can’t wait to take a shower.
Edited to add: I used 3 cups sugar, 1 cup oil, many many drops of scented oil.

You had better luck than I did - I got a little carried away with the food coloring!!
I have made never made a sugar scrub before - I am going to put this on my creative to do list. Thanks for sharing with us!
Definitely looks like a great gift project for any time of the year! Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow Kim, that looks easy enough for me to do a few quickie jars this weekend. Love it.
Very nice...but how much oil and how much sugar?
I think you need to do one of these as a give away {wink wink}
oh my gosh what a great idea! thank you! i am so going to give it a try.
How fun! I'd like to give this a try!
I think I'll try this... thanks!
Oh I'll have to try it very soon! what a great idea! Thanks!!
Very cool! I think I'll do this as teacher gifts this year.
(Also, brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added to it.)
yum!! I bet it smells delicious, if we weren't snowed in I'd run out and pick up supplies to make teacher gifts - maybe later this spring for teacher appreciation week! : )
Love the fact you've put it together as a gift; for years I've used olive oil and sugar, never thought of adding a scent.

think I'm gonna try with some olive oil and maybe lavender, but what parts mix of sugar and oil or do you just eyeball it?
I've planned on making some of this for a gift this year, but I didn't consider almond oil. Great idea! Off to Fred Meyer I go! (I love that I can get nearly everything I need there!)
I have never heard of sugar scrubs before - but it sounds very cool! And it would make a unique gift for a teacher or an exchange...definitely putting this on my future gift making idea list - and my daughter could help!
This scrub will make the perfect gift for my bff! Thx so much for sharing! =)
What's the mix ratio? And you did only use the one type of sugar, right? Thx again!
I've made these in the past, and people L.O.V.E. them! What a great, cost-effective way to give a very decadent gift! :)
