Body Scrubs





Sugar Scrub Recipe: Avocado and Almond





Ingredients for this scrub include raw avocado, and would therefore not make an ideal gift as it could not be stored. In order to present this as a gift, one could put together the dry ingredients (and the oil) with instructions on how to add the avocado at a later stage.





鈥? Cup Brown Sugar


鈥? Tablespoons of mashed avocado


鈥ash of apricot oil (not too much, as the mixture will dissolve if too wet)


鈥ash of honey


Place the sugar into a bowl, adding the avocado and apricot oil slowly. Keep an eye on the consistency as you add them to the sugar 鈥?avoiding that it should it be too thin and watery. Add the honey; and should you wish to add a different scent, a drop or two of an essential oil such as vanilla or lavender can be added. Store the mixture in a container with a lid that seals well.





Salt Scrub Recipe: Salt and Olive Oil





鈥? Cup of sea salt (or any coarse salt)


鈥live Oil


With the above combination, any other variations can be made to personalize the scrub, including:











Basic Scrub Mix





1/2 cup wheatgerm





1/4 cup fine oatmeal





1 tablespoon rice flour





Combine ingredients and store in an airtight jar.





When you want to use homemade body scrubs just put 2 tablespoons in a bowl and mix it with a wet ingredient to make a gritty paste.





Use one or more of any of the following wet ingredients; natural yoghurt, milk, cream, honey, egg yolk, fruit





This scrub is gentle enough to use on your face as well as your body, just ensure the grains are very fine.

You could decorate the bottles with a pic of you, like during the Christmas season (for example standing next to a tree) so they will remember that you gave it to them and ribbons just to pretty them up.
