[substeps] An easy, repeatable recipe combines 1 cup of sugar, about 1/3 of a cup of oil, and 20 drops of essential oil. These measurements can be tweaked depending on your preference for fragrance or oil content. [substeps] For the sugar scrub, mix one tablespoon liquid yogurt or castile soap and one tablespoon lemon juice in a cup of water. Add one tablespoon honey or olive oil for a very homemade scrub. [substeps] For an all-natural, hydrating scrub, add some olive oil and castile soap to the mix. Rub the scrub across your legs, arms, back, and underwear until you are satisfied with your body. [substeps] Start by applying a small amount to your chest or arms. Massage your skin with the scrub from the sides using circular motions, and then work it in from the top and bottom.
