I love using my imagination to transform my humble bathroom into the perfect spa getaway. The right music and right scents go a long way to creating a spa like ambience. I’ll even go so far as to dim the lights to complete the transformation. Today I wanted to create an easy body scrub that is easy to whip up and is the perfect spa accompaniment. Come join me some quiet time and a phenomenal body polish!
This body polish is quite different in texture. The fats, fragrance, preservative, antioxidant and Polysorbate 80 are all creamed to get a smooth texture before creaming in the sugar. This means no heating or melting is required. The resulting body polish is fluffy, rich and easy to apply. I adore scrubs and I think I am in love with this recipe! Try making it for yourself and see why.

Add the sugar and cream it into the fat mixture. Once the sugar is fully creamed into the fat mixture, scoop everything into a bag and pipe into jars. Label and enjoy!
