My daughter fell in love with this stuff at Bath & Body Works and I can't afford $20 bucks for a jar of it. Anybody know a homemade recipe for it???

Thanks in advance.

Exfoliating Sugar Scrub

2 cups white sugar
1 cup sweet almond or olive oil

In a small bowl, mix sugar and oil until well combined but still gritty.

Sugar, Salt and Nut Scrub

1/2 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup ground oatmeal
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup almond oil
45-60 drops fragrance or essential oil

Variation: Add 2 tablespoons of honey for an extra-moisturizing scrub.

Mix almond oil and fragrance or essential oil together in a glass bowl. Add the sugar, finely ground almonds and salt together in a separate bowl and mix thoroughly together. Add this mixture to the almond oil. Mix well with your hands to incorporate and you're done!

Brown Sugar Body Scrub

2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 - 1/2 cup almond oil
1/2 tsp of vitamin E
45-60 drops of fragrance or essential oil

Mix almond oil, vitamin E and fragrance or essential oil together in a glass bowl. Add the brown sugar and mix in well.

Sugar Scrub Recipe:
1/8 Cup Macadamia Nut Oil
1/8 Cup Sesame Seed Oil
3/4 Cup Turbinado Sugar
10-15 drops of essential oil
Mix oils together, add essential oil and mix well, then add sugar. Voila!
*note - I couldn't find Macadamia Nut Oil, and made the mistake of getting TOASTED Sesame Seed Oil (yuck for scrub, yum for stir fry) so I substituted 1/4 Cup Apricot Kernel Oil and it turned out just fine.

I'll post more if I find them
