Finally, for the last of my holiday posts, a jar of homemade sweet orange sugar scrub that I gave to a few of my friends. It’s best to use sugar scrubs, as sugar is not as irritating or dehydrating as salt. This is a simple mixture of organic cane sugar, olive oil, sweet orange essential oil, and a bit of food coloring, dressed up in a pretty Italian jar. I had the chance to try some that was left over and came out of the shower with soft, exfoliated skin smelling lightly of oranges.
