    I’m a massage therapist and one I use for myself is 1 part sugar or sea salt and one part olive oil :-)

    I use organic sugar and virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is fabulous for your skin!

    Has anyone ever tried this with tea tree oil in stead?

    • Wendy says:

      I don’t think you’d want to use tea tree oil instead–from what I understand, tto is antiseptic and needs dilution. You could probably add several drops though.

    by “part” do you mean 1 cup (for example) sugar & 1 cup pet jelly? just add & mix together?
