I love making my own body scrub.  It is FAR CHEAPER and fun to create my own delightful scents.

You’ll need three ingredients:

Put the brown sugar in a cute jar, mix in safflower oil until the sugar is coated and moist but not drowning in oil.  Add essential oil until you reach your desired strength of scent and you’re done!  Super easy!

I like Safflower Oil because it shares many similarities with the naturally occurring lipid components of the human skin and, unlike other oils, it doesn’t clog the pores or irritate follicles and hence is suitable even for acne prone skin.  It contains essential fatty acids like linoleic acid that can smooth, nourish and help damaged skin hold onto moisture better.
