Body: Bergamot Neroli Sugar Scrub




Source of Recipe


Donna Maria


Recipe Introduction


"The at once sophisticated and uplifting scent of bergamot combines with neroli, one of the princesses of the floral world to leave your hands, tootsies and entire body skin soft and smooth."



List of Ingredients




2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup sweet almond oil
1 tablespoon shea butter
4 tablespoons runny honey
2 drops bergamot essential oil
1 drop neroli essential oil

Recipe



Combine the sugar and sweet almond oil in a large bowl and stir well to combine.


Add the shea butter and honey next and use a hand held blender to mix/whip on high speed about 3 minutes. The heat generated by the mixing process will increase the temperature of the shea butter so it combines easily.


You should have a grainy paste. To use, stand naked in a tub or shower and scoop the scrub using your palms. Begin massaging body, extremities first, in circular motions to exfoliate and cleanse.


This mixture is oily and so you will have to be especially careful that you do not slip in the tub!


After you're finished, you can cleanse with soap or bath gel as usual if you''d like to remove some of the excess oil from your skin ... which should feel polished and luxuriant after your treatment!

YIELD: 1 intense full body application
