You can substitute dark brown sugar with cane sugar, white sugar, light brown sugar, or castor sugar.
You can substitute sweet almond oil with jojoba, olive, or grapeseed oil.
Do not use on your face.
Do not use on chapped, sunburnt or broken areas of your skin.
When exfoliating your skin, be gentle and use extra caution if your skin is sensitive.
Gifting Tips:
Use small open mouth mason jars.
Cut a whole cinnamon stick in half, and use it as piece of decoration at the top of the sugar scrub before closing the jar.
Decorate with twine or ribbon.
You can dry oranges and add them as decorations on the side too.
