Summer is here! And what better way to celebrate than by pampering your hands with a sweet-smelling sugar hand scrub. All you need is sugar and dish soap! For the soap, I recommend using Dawn with Olay Hand Renewal. I tested the scrub with another soap because I really liked the smell (Palmolive Soft Touch). This looked and smelled great at first, but then after a few hours it started to separate. So stick with the hand renewal from Dawn. It does come in four scents in my grocery: Pomegranate Splash, Lavender Silk, Cool Springs, and Tropical Shea Butter. Make it for yourself and add some ribbon and a label for the perfect gift.
Ingredients:
- Dawn with Olay Hand Renewal Dish Soap
- Sugar
- Pretty jar to store your scrub

Add your soap to just below the top of the jar.

<p><strong>Step Three:</strong><br />Stir it up! Add more sugar or soap until you reach your desired thickness. I think it works best when a little on the thick side.</p>
