A carrier oil could be grape-seed, hazelnut, or almond oil. These are my preference because they penetrate the skin readily and supply fatty acids to the skin, leading to increased elasticity and a soft shine. Now the essential oils used here are for fragrance and healing. Grapefruit essential oil gently stimulates and refreshes. Juniper oil is especially useful for fighting off water retention as well as stress and fatigue.
Lavender oil can help heal minor inflammations, and relieve day to day stress.
I hope you enjoy these wonderful body scrubs. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir thoroughly. Spread the mixture onto damp skin and massage in. Concentrate on the tough, rough, thickened areas of the body, such as the feet and elbows. You can also use this scrub to alleviate a dry, flaky, scalp and dull hair that are often the result of long-term use of permanents and colorings.
