One of my favorite things about having essential oils on hand is that it enables me to make simple, natural body care products at a moments notice.

Not only can I make things quickly and easily, I am also able to customize the scent to suit my personal taste. Sugar scrubs are some of the easiest body care items to make and they are fairly inexpensive, too (especially if you compare them to store bought products).

Today I’d like to share how to make a simple lavender body scrub.

Lavender body scrub is great for the skin, leaving the skin soft and smooth. The addition of lavender essential oil makes applying the body scrub a luxurious, relaxing experience.

Lavender essential oil is also helpful in boosting mood, easing neck tension, and encouraging relaxation.
