Invigorating Sugar Scrub, MY FAV!!!

From the doTerra website THIS is my favourite smelling holiday sugar scrub! 

Sugar scrubs are a great way to exfoliate and soften your skin, and can easily be customized using different types of sugar, salt, oil, and essential oil. This festive fall sugar scrub is gentle on your skin and has a delicious, spicy fall aroma. This scrub is naturally white in color, but can be changed with natural, skin-safe, food coloring.
 
Ingredients
¾ cup white sugar 
½ cup Fractionated Coconut Oil 
4 drops Cassia oil
4 drops Clove oil
2–4 drops Ginger oil

​Tip: You can use brown sugar or sea salt in place of white sugar. You can also use almond oil, grapeseed oil, or olive oil in place of Fractionated Coconut Oil.
 
Instructions

1. Combine sugar and Fractionated Coconut Oil in bowl.
2. Add essential oils.
3. Stir until the mixture is the consistency of a slushy. You may need to add more sugar or Fractionated Coconut Oil for desired consistency.
4. For separate colors, divide scrub into separate bowls and add color, then carefully pour each layer.
