Using just a few simple ingredients, I had my scrubs mixed up in no time!
Ingredient List:
- 1 cup pure cane sugar (organic is best)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh raspberries (Organic is best)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Mini mason jars used for jams or a Glass Jar with Leak Proof Rubber Gasket and Hinged Lid are perfect for storing the scrub.
Step 1. In a food processor, or Ninja, combine the sugar, olive oil, and raspberries.
Step 2. Blend well. This may take a few minutes. Put into a bowl.
Step 3. Zest a lemon. Pat the zest dry between paper towels. Add to bowl of sugar scrub mixture and stir.
Step 3. Pour into an airtight container.
Store this in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
I love using this scrub in a warm bath! The sugar does a great job at exfoliating, scrubbing away all the dead skin and leaving my skin so soft and smooth.
Berries aren’t just for cooking they can also be used to make homemade body scrubs as well!
Storage
Since fresh fruit was used to make this DIY sugar scrub, you will need to store it in the refrigerator. I suggest using it within 1 month.
These would make the perfect gift for Mother’s Day and the smell of raspberry will remind you of Summer all year long!
