¼ cup (60 mL) No Yolking™ – 100 % Egg White Protein Powder
 ¼ cup (60 mL) extra virgin olive oil (approx.)
4 drops vitamin E oil (optional)
Accent blend of choice

Select one of the following essential oil blends to use in the body scrub based on descriptions of their potential healing powers below. 

Holiday Blend:

1 tbsp (15 mL) finely grated orange zest or 20 drops of sweet orange essential oil
1/2 tsp (2 mL) ground cloves or 10 drops of clove oil
8 drops vanilla  

Breathe Easy Blend:

20 drops rosemary 
20 drops eucalyptus 
20 drops lavender 

Naughty & Nice:

20 drops frankincense 
8 drops vanilla  
12 drops ylang – ylang
20 drops sweet orange   

To Prepare:

  1. Stir sugar with egg white powder in a large nonreactive bowl (glass or stainless steel). In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, vitamin E and accent blend of choice. 
  2. Add oil mixture to sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until a moist and sandy consistency is achieved. The mixture should not be soupy. Add more sugar if needed to achieve desired consistency. Place in an airtight jar; top with vitamin E oil (if using) for up to two weeks. 

To use:

  1. Stand in the shower with damp skin (turn the shower off for a bit). Rub this decadent scrub all over the body paying special attention to dryer areas like knees, ankles, elbows and feet. The sugar should start to melt on the body as you rub the scrub away. 
  2. Proceed with shampooing and using your body wash. When you are on your final rinse of shampoo or conditioner, let the water rinse away any excess scrub from the body. Simply pat dry once out of the shower. No need for moisturizer afterwards!  

Tips:

  • Use any leftover oils to give a foot rub or body massage. 
  • Use sterilized glass jars to store prepared body scrub.
