Equipment

small food processor
small mason jars
twine optional
dried orange slice optional

Ingredients

½ cup fresh cranberries
1 cup white sugar
½ cup sweet almond oil
1 orange, zested
10 drops orange essential oil, optional

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a good processor and blend until fully incorporated.
Transfer to an airtight container, like a mason jar, and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
To use, rinse your skin with warm water then scrub gently. Rinse away the scrub and apply lotion as normal.

Notes

This scrub is runnier than other options. Feel free to add more sugar if you prefer a thicker mixture.

How to Use Cranberry Sugar Scrub

Run warm water over your body. Only use scrubs on warm, wet skin.
Add about a quarter-sized dollop of the scrub to your hands.
Rub your hands with a circular motion for some gentle exfoliation.
Rinse away the excess scrub with more warm water.
Dry off with a clean towel.

Note: It's not recommended to use sugar scrubs on your face, as the raw sugar cane granules can be too harsh for delicate skin.
