The base of this scrub can be made from either Epsom salts or sugar, depending on whether you want a large or fine grain. We recommend coloring the scrubs using food color with shades keeping with some of the scents you use—pink with grapefruit, for example, or green with eucalyptus. This project makes about 2 1/3 cups.
