How To Make A Homemade Sugar Scrub with Calendula

In this article, Meagan shares a statistic that’s pretty amazing. It’s estimated that the average American is exposed to over 2 million toxins a day! I found that mind-boggling. In order to reduce the toxins her family is exposed to, she decided to make her own homemade skin care products.

This is her recipe for a homemade sugar scrub with calendula. I selected this article, because you don’t often see recipes that used herbally-infused oils in sugar scrubs. It makes so much sense! Calendula is ideal for a skin scrub because, among other things, it has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and astringent properties.

Meagan includes a link to directions on how to make an infused oil. For this recipe she infuses both coconut oil and sweet almond oil. The recipe is really very simple to make. She explains how she uses it as an alternative to soap. Very creative recipe!

Also, if you’d like to learn how to create your own herbal health and beauty remedies and recipes, the Herbal Academy of New England offers an Online Introductory Herbal Course and an Online Intermediate Herbal Course. Both are self-paced so you can work at your own pace. They also have gift certificates so you can buy one of the courses for someone special. Highly recommended.
