Christian Stress Management: Natural Chocolate Body Scrub Recipe

Natural Chocolate Body Scrub Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is not one of the most commonly used aromatherapy carrier oils but it is a good choice when you need one that does not have a strong scent, is relatively inexpensive and easily available. It is great for this recipe since it does not mask the chocolate aroma.

If you do not have sunflower oil you can use other carrier oils like sweet almond oil, olive oil, and jojoba liquid wax.

6 tablespoons brown sugar
Sugar contains glycolic acid which loosens the substance that holds the dead cells on the surface of the skin together. This enables them to fall off and leave the softer cells on the surface.
You can use white sugar if you do not have brown sugar.

1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Cocoa contains antioxidants and it gives skin a gentle glow.

10 drops lavender essential oil
