Moisturizing rose petal sugar scrub

Note: This recipe is from me. I didn't get it from another source.

I recently bought a bunch of stuff from Mountain Rose Herbs, and decided to throw some things together to make a body scrub. I was pleasantly surprised with the results.

2 parts sugar
2 parts rose petal powder
1 part jojoba oil
a few drops of bergamot essential oil

Mix together and rub into your skin in the shower. Rinse off.

About the ingredients:
· I used regular white sugar, but I wonder if brown sugar would be more moisturizing.
· Jojoba oil is supposed to be good for your skin, as it's chemically similar to human sebum.
· Bergamot has a lovely citrusy and floral smell; it's also used in Earl Grey tea.

It smells amazing, and I'm looking forward to using this during the winter when my skin is painfully dry and itchy.
