I Am Radiant Sugar Glow

This self-affirming brown sugar body polish brings out the glow in tired, overstressed skin.

The brown sugar in this easy body scrub banishes lackluster, dead skin cells while the rich oils feed in reviving nourishment and hydration. Go ahead, love thyself!

Here's what you do:

Mix ingredients thoroughly in a glass bowl. In the shower, gently scrub all over body focusing on knees, elbows and any dry areas.

You'll need:

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon jojoba oil
  • 1 tablespoon almond oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 5-7 drops orange essential oil
  • dash of cinnamon

Do-It-Yourself Tips:

  • Try out your concoctions on an inconspicuous place like your forearm before you go slathering it all your body and have fun!
  • Use recipes with perishable food items such as eggs and veggies immediately or store in an airtight container up to one week in the frig.
  • Vodka, witch hazel, vinegar and lemon juice are natural preservatives and help extend the life of a DIY mixture.
  • Sugar and salt scrubs generally keep for a couple months as long as the container has a tight seal.
  • Store aromatherapy massage oils in a dark, well-sealed glass container for up to 6 months.
  • For gifts, consider separating the dry ingredients from the liquid and giving the recipient directions on how to mix them in one-use increments.
