DIY Body Scrubs

In the last few years I have stumbled across so many "pink" websites I've stopped counting.  One of my favorites is Pink of Perfection: A thrifty girls guide to the good life.  There are quite a few amazing  DIY Beauty Recipes (and they are delicious).  
Below are a few of my favorites.

Homemade Sugar Scrub

1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. grapeseed oil (olive oil would be great, too)
splash of vanilla extract

Stir to combine and slough away!

Wake Me Up Scrub
from Body + Soul
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
15 drops peppermint essential oil
½ cup used coffee grounds from a freshly brewed pot

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and thoroughly blend. Transfer the scrub to a wide mouthed jar, and store in a cool place until ready to use. The scrub will keep for one to two weeks, longer if refrigerated.

Almond Orange Scrub

1 handful almonds
1 orange peel
1 cup grapeseed or olive oil

Blitz all ingredients in a blender or food processor for an antioxidant rich scrub.

Sweet and Spicy Sugar Scrub

1 cup white granulated sugar
¾ cup almond, hazelnut, or coconut oil

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all ingredient. Using a whisk, blend ingredients thoroughly, making sure to break up any lumps of brown sugar or spice.
