Citrus Peppermint Body Scrub

Last year, I did Candy Cane Bath Salts. This year, it's Citrus Peppermint Body Scrub. It's a great body scrub to keep by kitchen sink for those rough hands.

Ingredients:

1 C carrier oil (grapeseed, olive, almond or any combination)
(I acutally used a combination of those three and included vitamin E oil)
1 C sea or epsom salt
1 C sugar*
 *you can just use all sugar or all salt, but the salt is much more abrasive by itself
15-20 drops of lemon essential oil
15-20 drops of orange essential oil
15-20 drops of peppermint essential oil




Combine all the oils in a small bowl. In a seperate bowl, combine the salt and sugar. Add the oil to the salt/sugar mixture and mix everything together. Store in an airtight container (such as a glass jar).


Add labels such as directions for use and ingredients and fabric or a decorative bow and viola! you've got a great (and easy) jar gift!
