I spent several hours making lotion, lotion bars, and even scored the secret. The higher amount of sugar makes for a looser scrub with more abrasiveness.

Ingredients

Base

1 cup sugar of choice (organic pure cane, brown pure cane, turbinado, etc.)
3 tablespoons, give or take, sweet almond oil, jojoba or extra virgin olive oil
optional ingredients:
1 tsp vanilla extract w/o alcohol
few drops of vitamin E oil
1/2 small lemon, juice of
or a few drops of your favorite essential oils such as spearmint, lavender, grapefruit, etc (see notes)

Instructions

Mix: Place sugar in small/medium size container and add the oil 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing in between. You want the consistency to be sandy, not soupy. If the mix is too soupy the sugars will dissolve in a day or two and not slough the skin as well, but you will still get added moister from the oil.
To Use: At the end of showering, it’s best to pat the skin dry a bit and then rub in circular motions all over the body and rinse well. I find it works best after soaking in the tub for at least 20 minutes. This will really loosen the skin making the scrub work at it’s best leaving your skin soft and supple!
Can be used 2 – 4 times a week (depending on the sugar type).

Notes:

Do not consume if adding essential oils or research before you do to make sure they are ingestible, especially if you are pregnant.
