DIY Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub

Finishing up my week of DIY projects {I know its only Wednesday - but my last DIY is not ready to unveil yet and Friday is the blog challenge} I made DIY Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub.  

A while back my friends Marie and Chelsea tried to get me into {or rather talked about it a lot around me} the way they use Essential Oils, I'm not going to lie to you I couldn't bring myself to spend the money {a little pricey} to "try" something.  Coincidentally my sister-in-law-to-be gifted me the Young Living Essential Oil Starter Kit for my Birthday last year.

I started using the oils in the diffuser and cleaning with them ... then Marie made me a Lemon Peppermint Sugar Scrub for Christmas and I fell in love! I used it every time I took a shower and I was so sad when it finally ran out.  So it has been on my list to make another batch! While looking through Pinterest I came across a recipe for Lavender Vanilla Sugar Scrub and really wanted to try it.

Add 1 Tsp. of Pure Vanilla Extract.

Mix all of the ingredients together until you get a moist mixture evenly distributed.

A few things to note:
  • Be sure to use a Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil {Young Living / DoTerra}.  There are oils that you can get for cheaper at your local health food store however, I don't recommend using those for anything that you are going to put on your skin or ingest into your body.
  • Be sure you are using Pure Vanilla Extract and not Imitation Vanilla Flavoring.
  • If you are going to keep this in your shower use a plastic container that seals tightly {Tupperware}  
  • I personally do not use this on my face {mainly because I use the Clarisonic}
