I don't know about you but I LOVE body scrubs, face scrubs, and anything else that makes my skin soft! The only thing is... the really nice ones are expensive! I mean.. we could all go to Wal-Mart and pick up a body scrub for $3 but we booooooth know it's not gonna be doing our skin many favors in the long run.
Recently, I discovered my absolute FAVORITE body scrub. It's from Rocky Mountain Soap Factory *ahhhhh, in love* it smells AMAZING, leaves my skin SO SOFT, and moisturized for at least 3 days. The only downside is the price tag *boooo* and luckily my sister, Leah, is JUST as obsessed with their scrubs as well.
This obsession led her to meddling around with recipes and different ways of making a replica scrub from home and when she perfected it I was doing the happy dance!
Total cost per jar (Rocky Mountain Soap Factory) $24.99
Total Cost Per Jar (Homemade) $2.19
HOLY COWWWWW!! Let's get to the recipe shall we?! (by the way, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, etc are your friends here)
Go and buy:
Course Sugar
Sweet Almond Oil
Grapeseed Oil
Jojoba Oil
Coconut Oil
Lavender Essential Oil
Frankincence Oil
Now mix 1 part Sugar to 1 part Oil
We did it like this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 cup of Sugar
1/2 cup of sweet Almond Oil
1/4 cup of grapeseed Oil
1/4 cup of Jojoba Oil
1 tsp of Coconut Oil
5-10 drops of Lavender and Frankincence
The ingredients will cost you about 20 bucks, but this will last you forEVER. We were able to get about 10 jars out of this, hence 2.19 per JAR!!!
So yeah. Go and prosper in the world as a soft skinned, savvy shopper, incredible woman.
Love you guys!!
