Pinterest Tested DIY Sugar Scrub

I cannot recall the exact place I first saw this but it was on Pinterest. A very easy DIY sugar body scrub! It makes your skin super soft and moisturized at fraction of the cost of store bought equivalents. I already had all the ingredients at home!

You will need:

• Olive oil
• Sugar- regular granulated
• Scented essential oils (optional) 
  

This is so simple I don't even measure it. I fill a small container with sugar and slowly add enough olive oil until the texture becomes paste-like. It's about a 2:1 ratio of 2 parts sugar and 1 part olive oil. 

I also have been adding tea tree oil for it's natural skin benefits and oil of rose for scent. Olive oil on it's own does not smell bad, but it smells like olive oil. I've also added vanilla to it before and any essential oil you like would add a pleasant smell. You only need a few drops 3-5 of tea tree oil or any other essential oils. Mix and use like crazy! It's cheap!

I also recently started using this on my face. This was after some internet searching to make sure it wasn't a horrible idea! It is amazing! My skin loves the exfoliation from the sugar and the moisturizer from the olive oil is doing wonders. I have large pores and always have treated my skin like it is oily, turns out I actually need more moisture! 

Diabetes note: Those horrible sticker sites from various diabetes related gadgets? This removes the leftover adhesive better than anything else for that too!
