๐ Lemon Meringue Sugar Scrub
The delicious scent of lemon and vanilla together will brighten your mind and awaken your appetite!
Ingredients
-
½ cup white sugar
-
¼ cup olive oil
-
3–4 drops vanilla absolute (essential oil)
-
5–6 drops lemon essential oil
Make It!
-
Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.
-
Spoon into a clean, dry jar for storage.
Note:
Vanilla absolute is different from vanilla extract — it’s much more concentrated. A few drops add a rich scent and help mask the olive oil aroma.
Color tip: Vanilla absolute is quite dark, so it may slightly tint your scrub brown.
Oil substitution: If you’re not a fan of olive oil, you can substitute the same amount of coconut oil or sweet almond oil. Using one of these will also keep your scrub white in color.
