    Add drops of peppermint essential oil to sugar and whisk together.
  2. Add sweet almond oil and vitamin E oil to sugar mixture and use a spoon to blend well.
  3. Add the liquid castile soap about a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your personal desired constitency. *This is totally your preference! Some people like their scrubs dry while others like it more liquidy. 
This is my ideal sugar scrub consistency. You may like it a little more dry or even a little more liquidy!
