Exfoliating Salt and Sugar Scrub

Citrus Body Scrub

I have been having some trouble with ingrown hairs on my leg (just the left one) and I am not sure why. One of the most frequently recommended solutions I have found online is to use an exfoliating scrub. This falls nicely in with my new hobby of homemade body care products. I wanted to make something with the ingredients I already have in the house so I chose to make a super basic scrub recipe.

After looking around, I found that there is a general formula to follow for body scrubs.

• 1 part oil
• 2 parts abrasive (salt, sugar, oatmeal, etc.)
• Essential oil

I decided to make my own recipe using the above guidelines.
