Cranberry Orange Sugar Scrub Ingredients
First, gather your ingredients including fresh cranberries. Adding vitamin E oil is optional. The below recipe does not require it but it is good for the health of your skin.
Puree your cranberries in a food processor or blender with a tad bit of water. This will give you the color and holiday scent to enjoy.
Next, add your cranberry mixture to your sugar scrub base. Add your sweet orange essential oil and vitamin E if you’d like.
Once your sugar scrub is mixed well, it’s time for jarring. You can store your sugar scrub in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to a month. The small mason jars make the perfect size for gifting.
This recipe is the perfect way to relax during the stressful holiday season. Use in a nice warm shower or bath.
