Instructions
In a medium-size bowl, combine all the ingredients.
Store the scrub in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place (the linen closet or medicine cabinet).
To Use:
Apply a tablespoon at a time to your hands. Gently massage the scrub over your entire body for 30 seconds. Rinse the scrub from the skin with water and a washcloth.
Notes
When you introduce water into a product without a preservative you always run the risk of introducing bacteria, so use a spoon to scoop this scrub into your hand (wet hands = water in the scrub).
