Ingredient Notes
Almond Flour: An amazing skin exfoliant, even on delicate skin, which can help improve tone and texture. Natural almond meal works best.
Finely Ground Oats: Have anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants that are great for the skin. They’re also excellent as mild exfoliants.
Brown Sugar: Helps exfoliate the skin while also retaining moisture in it. You can substitute coconut sugar or white sugar, but note that the latter might be more abrasive.
Almond Oil or Jojoba Oil: Excellent moisturizers for hydrating the skin. They also help bind the ingredients together. Other options include coconut oil, olive oil, or grapeseed oil.
Honey: Optional; it enhances the moisturizing and skin-soothing properties of the body polish.
Vanilla Essential Oil: Optional; it gives the polish a cozy scent. You can also use other scents like lavender, orange, or peppermint.

How To Make Homemade Body Polish

Top Tips
- Maintain proper ratios when making this body polish recipe. Note that too much oil might make it too greasy, while too little will make it crumbly.
- Before using it fully, test the scrub out on a small patch of your skin to make sure you won’t develop any adverse reactions to it.
- Avoid using it on the face unless you’re sure your skin can tolerate it.
- Use a spoon to remove the body polish from its container to avoid introducing water, which might encourage mold or bacterial growth.

Storage
Store the body polish in an airtight container like a Mason jar or plastic container. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from heat or direct sunlight, which may cause the oils to go rancid.
Since it’s made with perishable ingredients, it’s best to use this almond scrub within 2–3 weeks. If it develops an off or rancid smell, a slimy texture, or has signs of mold growth, discard it immediately.
