This DIY Frankincense Body Scrub is the perfect easy way to pamper yourself every day! It will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth!
It is that time of year again…the time when we are all starting to think about getting our holiday shopping done.
I must confess that I’m not that much of a shopper. In fact, the thought of going to the mall during the holiday rush makes me break out in a sweat. For the last several years, I’ve been guilty of taking the easy way out and giving gift cards for everyone other than the kids on my list.
It is certainly an easy option, but it may not always send the message that I want. I am not a fan of getting gift cards myself, and I’m sure the adults on my list would prefer a gift that I put some thought into.
This year my big focus is on coming up thoughtful gifts. And of course, what is more thoughtful than making gifts?
For some of the ladies on my list, I am making this DIY Frankincense Body Scrub. It is so easy to make and looks great in a simple but pretty jar!
The Quality of The Essential Oils You Use Matters!
After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I’ve fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They have a large line of organic oils and are serious about safety. Every single batch is tested to ensure purity!
Read my full Plant Therapy Review for why they are my go-to company.
For the longest time, Frankincense has been one of my favorite scents in essential oils. I love the rich sweet citrusy scent with warm balsamic undertones. It is so invigorating and energizing. There is nothing that feels more luxurious to me than a rich sugar scrub, so why not create one with my favorite essential oil? It is perfect for in the shower or even for a quick hand scrub. I like to keep it next to the sink when I have guests over!

Wendy Polisi
September 28, 2018 at 9:56 AMI used raw organic sugar. I am not sure of the brand as it has been a while.
