Choosing Your Ingredients

1. Brown Sugar or Sea Salt:

   • Brown Sugar: Gentle on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive areas.
   • Sea Salt: Provides a more vigorous scrub, excellent for areas with tougher skin, like elbows and feet.
     
     

2. Coconut Oil or Olive Oil:

   • Coconut Oil: Great for deep moisturization and has a pleasant, tropical scent.
   • Olive Oil: Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, ideal for nourishing and repairing the skin.
     
     

3. Essential Oils:

   • Lavender: Calming and relaxing, perfect for a pre-bedtime scrub.
   • Peppermint: Refreshing and invigorating, great for a morning energy boost.
   • Rose: Soothing and romantic, ideal for a luxurious spa-like experience.

How to Use Your DIY Body Scrub:

• Application: Gently massage the scrub onto wet skin in a circular motion. Focus on dry, rough areas.
• Frequency: Use 1-2 times a week, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
• Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Additional Tips:

• Patch Test: If you're using new ingredients or essential oils, do a patch test first.
• Moisturize: After exfoliating, apply a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.

This DIY Body Scrub is not only a treat for your skin but also a delightful sensory experience.
