Easy Homemade Sugar Scrubs and Bath Salts in Mason Jars

Both of these are mixes, not recipes you cook. Keep them simple, label them, and do not use them on broken skin.

Sugar scrub

Two parts sugar to one part coconut oil or olive oil. A drop of vanilla is enough scent. Stir, jar, and stop. It should look like wet sand, not a puddle.

Bath salts

Epsom salt with a few drops of a skin-safe scent if you have one. Plain salt is a fine gift.

Label

Write what it is and ‘for skin’ or ‘for the bath’ on the tag. A pretty jar with no label becomes a mystery in a cupboard.
