Gingerbread Spice Sugar Scrub 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon Apple Pie Spice
• 2 tsp ground allspice
• 2 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp vanilla flavor or extract
• 1 cup olive oil (or coconut oil)

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Slowly add in your oil and break up any clumps that may form.
3. Mix until well combined.
4. Spoon into a jar and seal with a lid.
5. To use, gently massage on to areas of dry skin and rinse clean.

 

 Combine all dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.

Note: The Apple Pie Spice and Ground Allspice are not included in the first picture of the dry ingredients because I ended up adding them as well as vanilla afterward since I wasn't satisfied with the scrub at first attempt.

 

Slowly add in your oil and vanilla and break up any clumps that may form.

 

I used vanilla flavor because I found the scent was stronger and more pleasant than the extract, and I was trying to make the scent of the scrub stronger than the scent of the olive oil.

 

 Mix until well combined.

Spoon into a jar and seal with a lid.

To use, gently massage on to areas of dry skin and rinse clean.
