Brown sugar scrub

Brown sugar is dark, unbleached raw sugar. In some country it is known as Demerara sugar, raw sugar, gula merah or gula jawa.

These are bundle of brown sugar that I saw at Phuket Wet Market.
I love the smell of caramel.




To make the brown sugar body scrub, u have to mix 2 parts of brown sugar, 1/2 part olive or almond oil, some dried lavender or dried rose petals. Blend well and keep it in a mason jar.

Your skin will easily glow after using this scrub due to high content of AHA but don't worry, it won't peel your skin off as the oil will keep it moist.
