Notes:
– The finer the sugar you use, the less rough the scrub will be. You can use a fine white sugar, since those tend to be thinner and more delicate on the skin.
– For a body scrub, you can use a coarser sugar such as brown sugar or even a coarse sea salt.
– If you are using this on your face, make sure to use a cleanser afterwards to remove the oil.
