Making your own natural body scrub is fun and easy. It’s not only less expensive than buying one but you can also custom blend it. Experiment with different essential oils that have the properties you want such as stimulating or calming. You can also try other oils such as jojoba or almond. Or you can use salt instead of sugar. You may want to test it on a small area and wait 24 hours to make sure you don’t have a reaction to any of the ingredients. Don’t use it on areas that are sensitive or have any type of skin issue. And do not use it in the genital area.
