Super Easy Sugar Scrub
You’ll need jars, basic granulated sugar, and some soap. I used these cute short 8-oz. Mason jars I found at Wal-Mart (You can also buy them online here!) And for the soap, I used Lemon Dawn because I love the lemon scent. A moisturizing dish soap or other liquid soap would also work well.
All you do is fill your jar approximately 3/4 full of sugar.
Then, just fill it the rest of the way with the soap.
Mix it well with a butter knife and that’s it!
To use it, just rub it all over your hands, then rinse it off. Perfect for removing dirt and exfoliating your skin. We all tried it out when we were done and it works great! Ours are all wrapped up, tagged, and ready to be given out. My sister already made some for her girls’ teachers, too! Mom, just act surprised when you get some, okay?

You're definitely not the last person to make this – because this is the first time I've seen this! How easy peasy (as my daughter would say)! I can't wait to try it and make it for a few gifts. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great idea, I think my boys would love to help me with this (although too much sugar would probably get eaten:)!!!

Julie,
I love the jars that you used. So much easier with a wide open mouth. Glad to see that you and your girls had a fun time with it.
Thanks so much for linking back to me.
Have a blessed Mother's Day!

This is a great "formula" too. I almost like this one more than the one I featured because the ingredients are more simpler. Thanks for linking up!

Thanks so much for stopping by this week to take a look at my framed silhouette project. If you decide to make one, I'd love to see. 🙂
Have a marvelous Mothers' Day!

Just made your scrub! So easy thank you! I found a couple of jars at Goodwill for .50 each. Used my circut and cut a circle to cover the name on the lid, then cut out the words "Garden Scrub" for the side. Turn out really cute! Include it in a "garden theme" basket. Thanks

OK you are not the last person to do this I am, and now I am completely addicted to making this stuff! Could you please tell me what paper you used for the tags. They are the cutest! Thanks, Sandy

I know this is way late, but I just used the scrub Lily gave me last year, because my hands are super rough! I LOVE IT!!! Now I want to make it for everyone I know!
