Prep Time
5 mins
Total Time
5 mins
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • almond oil or any mildly flavored or flavorless oil you have
  • a drop of almond extract don't use too much of any extract or you'll get a bitter flavor

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix up your scrub using just enough oil to make a loose paste consistency. Adjust the amount of oil or sugar if you need to. If you're using paste food coloring you will only need a pin prick amount, and you can add it to the oil first so it will disperse.
  2. Pack it firmly into your jars and you're ready to scrub.
  3. Just scoop out a little with your finger and scrub on and around your lips with little circular motions. Don't wet your lips first, since the water will dissolve the sugar before the job is done.
  4. Rinse off. Do this every day to beat the winter dryness!

Notes

  • I used almond extract, but there are so many flavorings in the baking aisle of the supermarket these days,..try orange, lemon, mint, vanilla, maple, or rum.  Buy extract, not artificial flavoring, and you can use it all season long in your baking.
  • Yes, you could make this in larger amounts and use it as a body scrub, too!
