I love to make my own bath and body care products for many reasons, the main reason being that I can control things like consistency or scent. I dig in the garden a lot and that means I have lots of ground in dirt and grass stains on my hands. Making my own hand scrub is practically necessary when trying to get the crud off my hands after gardening!
The first time I made this scrub I used a soft hands dish soap. Sounds weird, I know...but it really cleans stains well! As much as I'm working in the dirt and cleaning away a winters worth of dirt in the coops and barn I really need to mix up some new hand scrub!
Hand scrubs are one of the easiest body care products to make at home. There are really just 2 ingredients which makes this the easiest recipe of them all. It uses nothing but sugar and soap, plus a cute little jar!
