Today I am sharing a simple tutorial for these DIY honey almond sugar scrub bars, they are easy and fun to make. Make some for yourself, but these are perfect for holiday gift giving too!
A classic homemade sugar scrub bar held together with melt and pour soap base and that is a gentle exfoliator for healthier skin and to help make skin feel soft. These are made with simple natural ingredients and they contain no dyes and they are perfect for all skin types including sensitive skin.
Perfect for exfoliating winter dry skin, these solid sugar scrub bars are made using sugar and sweet almond oil, with powdered honey to help sweeten the scent.
For best results for smooth skin, use warm water with these sugar scrub bars on wet skin, and use in a circular motion for gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells for smoother, softer moisturized winter skin!

This recipe sounds lovely!! If I wanted to add EOs, how many drops would I use?
Tamara says
Hi Beth! I think it would depend on how strong you would like the scent, I would start with 10-15 drops, but you could go with even more if you would like it more strongly scented. Hope that helps!
