Sugar scrubs are an amazing natural way to exfoliate your skin leaving it healthy!
Importance of Exfoliating:
Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells clogging the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below. This opens the way for moisturizing products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, which makes them more effective. In short, a regular exfoliatingroutine will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy.
This is an easy DIY recipe for a peppermint & Melaleuca scrub!

place in measuring cup.
add sugar!
add in Essential oil drops!
its so important to get good quality oils! (especially the melaleuca). "large amount of what is called tea tree is either synthetic or adulterated to include synthetics. In addition to this issue, much of the "real stuff" is actually distilled with a chemical distillation process, making it much more precarious to use"
i only trust Doterra!
