DIY Sugar Body Scrub

"The base of this scrub is really easy to make, and you could easily customize it with whatever scents you prefer! Because it’s that time of year, I made a sweet and spicy mix with cloves, Apple Pie Spice and cinnamon. You can mix up as much as you need; the base is just: 2 parts brown sugar 1 part white sugar 1 part vegetable oil Then add the “flavoring” as you like it. I think I ended up around 1 Tablespoon or so, total. Just mix it up really well, using a fork to break down any lumps, and that’s it! Store in an airtight container."
