Not too long ago, I saw a recipe for a sugar face scrub on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try. My skin was feeling oily in some spots, dry in others and just looked dull. Honestly, I didn’t think it would do much but after using it, I was really surprised. I kept asking people in my family to feel how soft my face was (I’m sure they loved that!) and have made it several times since.
I decided to try my hand at making my own sugar scrub and I am so happy I did. While this is the first scrub recipe I’ve ever made, it definitely won’t be my last! I love how sugar scrubs make my skin feel so soft! I also love that you can make so many different scents depending on your mood or the season.

How much does this recipe make? You say use 8 oz. mason jars, do I need 1 – 2 or how many?
I would like to know the same thing.
Could I use fresh mint instead of the essential oil?
