DIY Sugar Scrub - Stone Family Farmstead

Spa and body care products can be super expensive, and the truth is, some of them are so inexpensive to make at home and they don’t take long at all! This DIY sugar scrub will take 15 minutes tops, and you may already have everything you need to make a batch for yourself, with some extra to give away as holiday gifts!

This scrub would be a really nice addition to a bath and body gift basket including handmade soap and a couple of crocheted wash cloths. As a matter of fact, I’m going to be doing something like that this year.

But shhhh….my extended family doesn’t know. *grin*
