Here is what you will need:

Almond Oil or Coconut Oil (or oil of your choice)

White Granulated Sugar

Shredded Bar of Soap

An Essential Oil (I used DoTerra’s Citrus Bliss)

Mixing Bowl

Spoon

Microwave and possibly a double boiler

A mold or a scoop

This recipe calls for 1 part oil, 2 parts shredded soap, and 3 parts sugar.

Sugar Scrub Cubes:

1/4 cup Almond Oil

1/2 cup Shredded Soap

3-4 drops of Essential Oil

1 cup Sugar

1. Pour the oil into a bowl and add the shredded soap of your choice. Microwave this on high for 10 second intervals stirring in between each. If this does not work to slowly melt your soap into your oil you may have to melt the soap shaving in a double boiler. (If you don’t have a double boiler like me, simply place a small bowl over a saucepan filled with boiling water).

2. When the mixture is melted and and stirred together, add several drops of your Essential Oil. I used DoTerra’s Citrus Bliss. {If you have not used DoTerra’s oils, you are missing out! I love them. I get mine from my friend Julie Crowell. You can find more information by clicking on the link. I will be sharing a bit more about my love for doTerra oils in an upcoming post}.

3. Get your mold ready to go before adding the sugar. This is important because once the sugar is added the scrub will harden VERY quickly.

4. Pour in sugar and stir quickly. Take mixture and place it into your molds with your fingers. Or…if you don’t have a mold you can take a scoop and make rounded sugar “cubes”.

5. Let cubes harden by popping them into the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Then pop them out of the mold and cut them into fourths depending on the size you would like them to be.

Then simply throw them into a fun air tight container and add a cute label.

Sugar scrubs smell amazing and gently exfoliate your skin for a smooth feeling. The fun thing about these sugar scrub cubes is that they also have a fun “cleaning” element with the addition of the soap. And the citrus bliss smells amazing and has some relaxation and calming benefits which you can learn more about here.
