Yummy, Nourishing Sugar Scrubs.

My skin is feeling particularly dry these days with the excess exposure to heat (thanks to hot showers and heated indoor rooms)! And although, I am not a D.I.Y kind of person, I got excited by all the sugar scrub recipes on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot.

The results were amazing! In just a few minutes, I was able to whip up an amazing scrub. Now I feel like Martha Stewart  plus I have nice glowing skin!Depending on your mood, just pick the appropriate essential oil for smell. Some of my favorites are Mandarin Orange for energy, Rosemary/Mint for energy, Lavender for relaxation, and vanilla bean for relaxation too.
