Sugar Scrub II

vanilla, rose and cedarwood sugar scrub

ingredients:

1 cup demerera (raw cane) sugar

2-3 tablespoons almond oil

2 teaspoon vanilla flavouring

1/2 teaspoon diluted rose essential oil

a few drops cedarwood essential oil*

1 glass or plastic jar with a lid, the one I used came from Ikea, but any jar with a lid will do, even an old jam jar.

mix all ingredients in a glass bowl (plastic will absorb the oil) until you have a nice slightly slushy consistency and then scoop it into the jar.

Apply the scrub to hands or feet (or any area of rough skin) in the bath or shower, rinse.

*cederwood is a strong scent and if you use too much of the oil it will overpower the rose and vanilla

cook's notes: this is the second time I have experimented with making sugar scrub, and this time the scrub is all mine, it turned out lovely, and I really like the woodsy scent of the cedarwood essential oil adds to the scrub, its fresh and left my skin smooth and soft without irritating.

the first recipe and post for my version of sugar scrub can be found here. Which I gave as a Christmas gift to Frizbe, and her daughter wanted to eat it, so I must have done something good.
