With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I wanted to share some easy DIY gift ideas that you can make! While in my apothecary (read: kitchen) the other day, I whipped up this amazing sugar scrub. This Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub takes a few ingredients and about 5 minutes to make!
Every mother wants a chance to relax and pamper herself! This sugar scrub can be used on your hands, on your feet or even as a face scrub! The lavender and vanilla mixture is so soothing and relaxing!
Ingredients:
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
8 drops of lavender essential oils
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Combine sugar, coconut oil and olive oil in a medium bowl. Mix well.
Add lavender essential oil and vanilla extract. Store in air tight container. Will keep for about a week.
{This recipe makes one jar full.}
Lavender can also help with skin irritations and restore skin’s natural properties. Not to mention the sweet, floral scent is so inviting!
