We live on the creek and
love to play hard and work hard outside. Throughout the Spring and Summer I
frequently make batches of this simple scrub and leave it on the bathroom sink
for the entire family to use. I also make a variation with the juice of half a
lemon as a grease-cutting agent for my husband to use in his workshop.
Ingredients :
1 to 1-½ cup Granulated
Sugar
1 cup Oil (Almond,
Grapeseed, even Olive, whatever you have on hand)
10-12 drops Essential Oil
of your choice (optional)
Juice of ½ Lemon, if
needed
Preparation :
Start by mixing one cup of
sugar with the oil with a fork. The final consistency should be that of good
sandcastle-making sand, so depending on the oil you use, you may need to add
more sugar. Lastly, add the essential oils and lemon, if desired.
