this & that laboratory - body scrub

this was originally published on July 3, 2018

I think we can all agree that summer in the city is amazing, hot as hell, and grimy. So I make a body scrub to get that grime off, moisturize my skin, and cool me off. And yes it does all three things at once! Grab small grained sugar (1/2 cup), almond oil (1/4 cup) [you can use coconut or olive oil, but I find almond oil the least heaviest oil and has a subdued scent], peppermint oil + eucalyptus oil + citrus oil (I used grapefruit). I used enough almond oil to cover the sugar. The size of your container will determine how many drops of essential oil, always start with less- you can always add more! I did about 7 drops of each essential oil. Mix it together and scrub the heat away
and nourish that skin.
