Body scrub

Body Scrub.... It's one of those things that you get in bath gifts from people. Usually they smell good and maybe even leave your skin feeling nice and soft afterwards...
Well I made some the other day, only it didn't smell anything but oil, maybe of I would have had essential oils or something to put in it, then maybe it would've been different. It did still leave my skin feeling oily. Maybe if I added more sugar to absorb the oil a little more than maybe, it wouldn't have been soo bad... but I'm going to keep looking for a different recipe that might work better.

This recipe didn't have too many steps, making it fairly easy... This is my 2 cups of olive oil and coconut oil.  I melted it in the microwave, took maybe a minute and a half.

and then stuck it in the freezer....
And whipped er up...
It really does look like whipped cream.

I just looked up the recipe again to find the link for you guys.... This is where I muffed up..
I added my sugar, but not realizing I doubled the oils, i only added half of the sugar I needed same with the corn starch. Which is probably why it's soo oily for me. I added blue food colouring to it to make it pretty, Not too much  because I didn't want to come out looking like a smurf!

I Think  I'll go add some more sugar and cornstarch to it and see what happens. I'll edit this post with my findings.

** Edit**
So I added an extra cup of sugar and It was a hell of a lot better! Still too oily for my skin; but if you have like maybe super dry skin or something it might be perfect for you!
