things but the easiest is simply add a cup of white sugar or mix equal
parts of brown and white or just use brown sugar, add enough oils to
make the mixture wet (I like it a little runny because my dry skin
soaks up the extra oil). Use only FCO or mix equal parts of your
favorite oils. I use FCO and Grapeseed oil. Virgin 76 degree melt
coconut oil is awesome if you plan to use it within about 2 weeks. Its
much richer and more moisturizing but if it goes longer than that, it
may harden a bit. Sunflower seed oil, safflower, etc.....any carrier
oil works. Mix, add EO or EO blend. My favorites are lemon,
peppermint, pure organic vanilla extract goes amazing with the brown
sugar, lavender, rose, etc. Experiment with your own blend but
literally its that simple.
You can also use half brown sugar and half ground coffee beans.
