Tips & variations

Once you have made your cleopatra milk scrub, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.

• Add a preservative if any water gets into the jar, and warn users that the oils make surfaces slippery.
• Use a sugar scrub on the body and a finer salt or sugar on rougher areas like heels.
• Measure by weight for results you can repeat batch after batch.

Make it your own: change the fragrance or essential oil, or tweak the colour to suit the season.
