Chocolate Sugar Body Scrub

The cool thing about this body scrub recipe is that you can make it with salt or sugar. The most important thing is to just make sure it’s a granular sugar or salt to make this a exfoliating body scrub. Otherwise you want get rid of all the dead skin cells that tend to cling during winter time, or the rough patches thanks to summertime flip flops.

Other than that the secret ingredients in this exfoliating body scrub recipe are Rodelle Baking chocolate and essential oils. Chocolate is filled with antioxidants, and it just gives this scrub a spa like feel. The refreshing tingle of peppermint helps awaken you, and make you feel revived!

How to Make Your Own Body Scrub

Tools:

• Large Glass Bowl: When working with essential oils it is really important to work with glass. Plastic containers will absorb the essential oils and will contaminate anything else you try to make in them. That’s why glass is so important.
• Metal Mixing Spoon: Just like the glass, metal is an important tool when making your own recipes with essential oils. Plastic or wood absorbs the essential oils, which makes it hard (read that impossible) to get all the oils out. The next time you go to make your own beauty care items they will have a mish mosh of oils. 
• Metal Funnel
• Glass Container

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Another favorite of mine grapeseed oil will work too)

1. In a large bowl combine the oil and sugar/salt.
