Is this a good use for bath or shower time?! So simple! Can’t wait to try to make it!
Mairynsays:
What other oils can be used besides almond oil?
Great project!
Brookelynnsays:
You can use this in the shower, but it’s not a bath salt that you would want to dissolve in the water. Just use it like an exfoliant and scrub with it, especially your elbows, knees and feet. It’s also nice to use just on your hands after gardening or other tough chores.
Brookelynnsays:
Try avocado oil, or coconut oil, or even a high quality evoo (extra virgin olive oil!) If you experiment, comment back and let us know how it turned out!
Gabrielasays:
You can also add some showergel to the mixture. With this you have a soft skin but are not soooo oily after scrubbing you. And when you use white shugar and a colored showergel you geht some nice pastel colors.
Katiesays:
I’m having trouble finding almond oil so thanks for the info that other oils can be used. Does this need to be stored in the fridge in-between uses?
Thanks!
Elizabethsays:
You will probably need to store in frig, esp if you are using an oil that might go rancid quickly.
Heathersays:
Do you have any idea of the shelf life for this scrub?
Also, instead of regular brown sugar, do you think the “Sugar In The Raw” crystals would work well?
Thank you!
Josays:
Sunflower oil works great too. It doesn’t leave your skin feeling too oily.
