Hi friends! I thought I’d spice things up a bit today with a fun sugar scrub recipe. It’s no secret that I love trying out new recipes using natural ingredients along with my favorite essential oils, and today’s recipe is definitely a winner. I made this Citrus Black Pepper Sugar Scrub recently and it has quickly become a new favorite.
So I was in the kitchen the other day experimenting with my recent order of essential oils when I reached into a cabinet to grab something and my eyes landed on black pepper. Hmmm…I remembered a body spray I once had that had black pepper in it so I thought, “Why not?” I grabbed it, got to work and the rest is history. It adds just a little hint of spice to this sugar scrub. The scent is amazing, but I can’t even describe how soft your skin will feel after you use it. You just have to give it a try to find out. Get the easy to make recipe and instructions below. Enjoy!
