Homemade Holiday Gifts- Mint, Lavender, and Basil Body Scrub

Dry hands are a big issue for me during the winter months with constant cooking, washing, cleaning, and hand sanitizer at work. I love using scrubs to get all that dead skin off, giving your skin a beautiful holiday glow:) Making your own is an awesome affordable gift that anyone would love to receive! I whipped up  this combo with things I had on hand, but this is customizable to whatever you like! The essential oils I used are from Green Clean Chic!

In a large bowl combine:

-3 Cups coarse salt

-3 Cups brown sugar

-1 jar softened Coconut Oil

-2 1/2 cups Olive Oil

-10 ish drops of lavender essential oil

-25-30 drops of spearmint or regular mint essential oil

-1/3 Cup dried lemon basil crushed (use regular dried basil with some lemon rind, I had this left over from the garden)

Mix thoroughly and seal into your favorite jars. To use take 1 Tbs and rub over hand, body etc then wash with warm water.
