Pomegranate Body Scrub

Recipe #369521 | 10 min | 10 min prep | add private note

Pomegranates are full of skin preserving antioxidants, while white cane sugar provides a natural form of glycolic acid to help dissolve and puch away dead skin cells, says David Klass, the co-founder and president of Archipelago Botanicals and this scub is similar to their Archipelago Botanicals Pomegranate Body Scrub! This comes via Better Homes & Gardens magazine.

1/2 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/2 cup white unbleached cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons oil (such as avocado, sunflower, or vegetable oil)
  • 1-2 drop essential oil, use your favorite-if you don't have any perhaps use a little vanilla (optional) or almond extract (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, mix the sugar and pomegranate seeds, crushing both with a spoon.
  2. 2
    Add the oil and mix.
  3. 3
    The pomegranate will scent the scrub, but if you want more scent, add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil.
  4. 4
    Massage gently onto damp skin. There should be enough for a full body scrub. Rinse off.

This scrub really works! My skin feels smooth and moist without feeling to oily. I first thought that there wouldn't be enough oil, but it was enough. Applying the scrub I was a bit concerned about the mess I was making in the shower with pomegranate juice and seeds flying, but it cleaned up really easy. Just gathered it all with my feet over the drain and stepped on it and it was gone. Didn't feel bad about it either because it was fully organic. Made for Newest Zaar Tag
