DIY Body Scrub

Finding a good cheap body scrub is quite hard in my opinion. The majority of them are essentially sugar and way overpriced, so I've really got to love it for it to be worth the money. I think I would love soap and glory scrubs but unfortunately they aren't sold in Australia.

However, I'm always up for money saving tips and DIY's, and this body scrub definitely qualifies!

1 part olive oil (I used 1 cups)

2 parts raw sugar (I used 2 cups)

15+ drops of your favourite smelling essential oil

1. Add the olive oil and sugar into a bowl and stir.

2. Add in your essential oil, using more drops if you want a stronger smell.

3. Scoop your mixture into a jar/container/pot and you have a new scrub!

There are several benefits of using a body scrub including exfoliating away dead skin and cleaning yourself of dirt, but this scrub contains olive oil which is very nourishing to the skin. So buff your skin with this (almost) free scrub and have yourself a pair of silky smooth legs!

I do find that the oil leaves a residue on my skin after using the scrub so I find it helpful to use body wash afterwards. Don't worry if your scrub separates in its container, it's super easy to just mix it back together before scooping out some of your scrub to use. I wouldn't recommend using this on your face as it is too rough for a face scrub.

This is by far the best value for money you can get when investing in a scrub as it only costs what you can find in your house! It leaves my legs feeling moisturised and smooth, and I would really recommend using this DIY body scrub!
