Don't just eat your sugar, wear it! : 3 Agave Sugar Scrubs

I'll tell you why I love scrubs of any kind.  It's because I feel thinner when my fat is exfoliated.

Really, if you slough off a little dry skin, you might just *be* a nanometer or two thinner.  Sign me up!

3 agave sugar scrub recipes: french roast, ginger, and orange spice

I have three sugar scrub recipes for you: French Roast-Agave, Ginger-Agave, and Orange Spice-Agave...

...sugar scrubs cannot be easier to make. I used raw cane and turbinado sugars in all of them because of their large crystals, but you could use regular granulated or brown sugars, too.  3 agave sugar scrub recipes: french roast, ginger, and orange spice
You'll want to lay out all of your ingredients and spill them *just so* (if you are a total dork like me).

Besides sugar, all of the scrubs also contain:

  1. agave: I've already talked about an agave body oil that I LOVE; I figured it would be good in a scrub as well.  The Aztecs used it to heal skin infections.
  2. grapeseed oil: moisturizing and rumored to tighten skin
  3. coconut oil: really, can you make anything nowadays without coconut oil, water, milk, or butter?  I think not.  More moisture for the skin.
A link to the printable recipes is below.  Just remember, you really cannot screw these up.  You're not going to eat it, so if it looks a little too heavy on the oil, add in some more sugar.  Want it a little more fragrant, add in some more extract or spices...play around.  I predict you'll become addicted to making them!
