Lemon Sugar Scrub

Vanilla scrub in middle, lemon on both sides

Last year, for my daughters teenage friends, we put a hot chocolate recipe in small jars and attached a candy cane 'a la snowman soup'. This year she thought we could try body scrubs. So, today we used a recipe I'd pinned onto my pinterest board and made both vanilla and lemon sugar scrubs. 

          Lemon Sugar Scrub         

          What you will need: 2 1/2 cups of white sugar, 1 cup of olive oil, 4 TBS of Lemon juice, 
          containers

          Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub


          What you will need: 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup-3/4 cups olive oil
          1-2 tsp of vanilla (your preference)

Basic ingredients are all combined together in a bowl and then packed into individual jars. They both work really well but we felt the vanilla recipe needed more essence and the lemon recipe turned out very wet. We just add more essence and sugar to try to get a not too dry, not too wet consistency. 

For a few of her friends we've used the body scrub as part of a pamper box.
