3 Jars or containers
Powdered Buttermilk

Bowl

Templates - Made by me, you can download them all below :)

VANILLA MILK SCRUB

For the regular milk & sugar scrub I mixed sugar with about 2 tbls of milk powder. Then I added oil until it reached a consistency that I like. The oil helps to bind everything together, and acts as a moisturized while the sugar and milk exfoliate.

Powdered milk contains lactic acid which is an alpha hydroxy acid. Alpha hydroxy acids help to remove dead skin cells while promoting cell renewal, softens skin, fades sun spots, freckles and scars.

I really like using these scrubs when I wash my hands because they get all the clay off, unlike soap. I was inspired by all the cute scrubs at Bath & Body Works & Victoria Secret Pink :)


CHOCOLATE MILK SCRUB

For the Chocolate milk scrub I mixed brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa powder, milk powder, and oil.

****You can use more or less oil. If you use less oil you'll have more of a powder scrub that you can add to body wash, or a facial cleanser. If you use more oil, you'll have a more traditional scrub that you can use alone. Both ways work great, so try them out and see which you type prefer :)

The type of oil you use is up to you. I chose Apricot Oil that I purchased at GNC for under $5.00. Apricot oil is very light, so its great for your face.

GNC also sell Sweet Almond Oil, which is my favorite, but it's also more expensive. I love almond oil because it has brightening effects when used consistently.... but it can be very greasy if you use too much. If you have eczema, I urge you to try the Sweet Almond Oil! It is the only thing that works when I feel that "itchy" eczema dry skin coming on!


STRAWBERRY MILK SCRUB

The strawberry milk & sugar scrub is a mixture of white sugar, milk powder, and strawberry extract. To give the scrub some color, I added pink blush. Eyeshadow, or food coloring works well also.

I added more oil to the strawberry & and chocolate scrubs in the end. This darkened the color and made the scrubs easier to work with right out the jar. If you plan on mixing these scrubs in with a facial cleanser or body scrub you can add less oil.
