oils for scrub

[Ruthie]

Khanjari's thread "first body scrub" got me to wondering- what are your favorite oils for a moisturizing scrub- and why?

I like light oil like sweet almond in my scrubs.

Scrubs are the only time I use soy, it works really well and is cost effective. I also love sweet almond for a light oil, for something heavier for very dry skin I blend in a bit of olive.

I really like sweet almond myself because it's so light. I make a lovely emulsified scrub with almond oil, sugar, rose clay, and a few other things. My skin always feels nice after using!
Cheers!

Cocoa butter, coconut oil and apricot kernel oil.

I have dry skin so I prefer olive oil but I made another scrub for my fave with brown sugar and vanilla and I used a blend of olive oil and almond oil. I also Added a little vitamin E oil.

I use very little oil in any scrub but I like fractionated coconut, meadowfoam or sunflower for the oil

I make an emulisified scrub with shea, coconut, sweet almond and avocado with a couple others and love how my skin feels after using it.
