(easy) homemade holiday: brown sugar scrub

For my last “homemade holiday”, I have another scrub for you.

And it’s just as easy as the last one!

But while that last one was more of a spring/summer scrub, this one has winter written all over it.

Brown sugar.

Vanilla.

And a bit of cinnamon essential oil.

This DELICIOUS smelling scrub whips up in less than 5 minutes and can be scaled up – based on your gift list and the size of your jars – very easily.

Which is great, because you are definitely going to want to filch some for yourself come these long, cold winter months.

Brown Sugar Hand and Body Scrub

10 – 20 drops cinnamon essential oil

clean jars, ribbon or twine, tags, little spoons

Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl – transfer to your clean jars and seal (will keep for up to 3 months).

    Those little wood spoons are the cutest touch! I’m doing all homemade gifts this year. I made some bath salts yesterday and am making body butter tomorrow! This sugar scrub would be nice, too, if I have the time!

      Thank you so much! How does one make body butter????

    Those are the cutest spoons – where did you get them from?

      Aren’t they? I got them a while ago at Amazon – let me know if you have trouble finding them!

    Would you know if there is a sub for the coconut oil for this recipe?

      Yes! You can use any oil you want – jojoba, almond, even olive oil! I like coconut oil in my scrubs because you can get it to a somewhat solidified state, which makes the scrub feel less oily or “liquidy” – but the beauty of this recipe is that you can adjust quantities as you go. So if you use a different oil start with less and as you mix the ingredients you can add more until you get a consistency that you like!
