- ½ cup oil (almond, olive oil, or coconut oil)
- ½ teaspoon vitamin E oil (natural preservative)
- ½ teaspoon real vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all required ingredients including brown sugar, your choice of oil, vitamin E oil, vanilla extract, and the blend of spices.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the brown sugar with the oil, vitamin E oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir well until the mixture is uniformly combined. Adjust the amount of oil if you prefer a wetter or drier scrub consistency.
- Store the Scrub: Transfer the scrub into an airtight glass jar to preserve freshness. Since the recipe uses no chemical preservatives, it is recommended to use the scrub within one to two months for best results.
- Use the Scrub: Scoop a small amount with a spoon and gently rub it onto your hands, feet, or any area where you want softer skin. Let the scrub sit on your skin for 3-4 minutes to allow the nourishing oils and spices to moisturize and soothe the skin.
- Rinse and Dry: After allowing it to rest on your skin, rinse thoroughly with warm water and gently pat your skin dry using a soft towel. Enjoy the moisturizing and refreshing results.
Notes
- Scoop a small amount with a spoon to maintain hygiene.
