Recipe for Holiday Spice Sugar Scrub

This scrub has a lovely, warm scent that is reminiscent of the holiday season. It smells so good you’ll want to eat it!

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground all spice

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/3 cup oil (olive, sweet almond, or walnut oil)

Optional extra: ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom

Method

Place sugar and spices in a clean bowl.

Add oil and stir to combine.

If you would prefer a runnier consistency, add extra oil, one teaspoon at a time, until the scrub is to your liking. Just remember that the scrub needs to hold together and not slide right off your hand.

Spoon scrub into a clean jar and label.

Scrub will store for six months.

To Use:

Apply scrub to damp skin using circular motions. Wash off with warm water and follow with moisturizer.

Cautions:

Do not use scrubs on cuts or sunburned or windburned skin. This scrub is intended for use as body scrub, not to be used on the face.
