Chocolate Moisturizing Body Scrub

Chocolate Moisturizing Body Scrub

Ingredients
• 1 cup sugar (now, I used 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup Epsom salt for better exfoliation and detox properties)
• 2 tablespoons unscented liquid soap (you can use soft soap if you want, I used Liquid Glycerin)
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (You can use a little more if you really like the cocoa scent!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (same here)
• olive oil (just enough to form it all into a paste)
Directions
1 Combine sugar, body wash, cocoa powder, and vanilla in a plastic container.
2 Add olive oil until a paste forms.
3 Wet area to exfoliate.
4 Rub with scrub.
5 Rinse.
6 keep in a covered air tight container.
7 Enjoy!
Super cool, when it gets wet, it smells just like hot cocoa!!!

You can put this is a pretty jar with a nice tight lid, tie it with a pretty brown and pink ribbon (or whatever color you would like, I just thought the brown and pink looked cute with the dark color of the scrub) and give it as a gift from the heart!!!!
