Homemade Body Scrubs

It's important to exfoliate your body regularly! Using a body scrub once a week will leave your skin soft and smooth. A body scrub has larger exfoliating particles than a facial scrub, and can be made with many household ingredients. 

What is a carrier oil?
Carrier oils are pressed from the fatty portions of seeds, nuts and kernels. ​Carrier oils do not have a strong scent and are so named because they "carry" essential oils to the skin. 

Common Carrier Oils

• Sweet Almond Oil
  
• Grape Seed Oil
  
• ​Avocado Oil
  
• Sesame Oil

• Olive Oil
  
• Sunflower Oil
  
• Jojoba Oil
  
• ​Coconut oil

Note: ​Be cautious when using any products with oil, they can make the tub and shower very slippery. It's best to have a textured bath mat.
