Essential oils for apple pie sugar scrub
For a delightful but not overpowering fragrance in your apple pie body scrub, incorporate about 1 tablespoon of apple pie spice. While essential oils can be added for an extra boost in scent and skincare benefits, the scrub already boasts a fantastic aroma without them.
In case you wish to use essential oils, bergamot and lemongrass are excellent choices for imparting a fruity note to the apple pie scrub. However, it’s worth noting that the scrub remains wonderfully aromatic even without essential oils. If you’re pregnant, have sensitivity to essential oils, or intend to use the scrub for small children, feel free to omit essential oils and still enjoy the amazing homemade sugar scrub with apple pie
