[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 395647, member: 1233"] To make the sugar scrub I don't really measure. I use a fairly small jar for gifts (baby food or small peanut butter jar, or one of the smaller size gladware type containers) and pour in just enough canola oil to make a paste. If you get too much you can add more sugar. You can use just plaain granulated sugar, but I like the texture with the bigger sugar crystals like sugar in the raw or turbinado sugar and regular sugar mixed. I get essential oils in craft stores (soap making/candle making section), natural food stores, ebay and other online places. For some reason the oil does not dissolve the sugar - not sure why but I have kept the mixture for up to a year with no bacterial growth or smell changes and the sugar doesn't dissolve. I only had it that long because Jessie wandered off with it and I didn't know we still had it, lol. If my skin gets really dry all over in the winter I use baby oil or neutrogena rainbath oil after a shower. I put it on before I towel off and then the excess ends up on the towel and not my clothes or sheets. My mom once did this using some organic body oil that was actually just vegetable oil. She ruined several really nice towels because they never seemed to come clean and in about two weeks smelled really rancid even after washing in really HOT water and bleach. I have found that with the baby oil, skin so soft or rainbath oil this doesn't happen and it washes out just fine. Have any of you tried gloves in a bottle? You use just a tiny bit and it will stay on after you wash your hands. It is wonderful if you do handwork because it does NOT rub off on your fabric or thread. I use it a lot when I am doing cross stitch. It is about $5 for a very small bottle but it lasts a very long time. [/QUOTE]
