In keeping with February’s theme of self-care, I’m including a recipe for a homemade sugar scrub. I have to use a hand scrub at least once a week. Yes, I said “have to”. For one thing, I’m a massage therapist, so I wash my hands about a hundred times a day and that’s only a very slight exaggeration. And for another thing, I live in Calgary, where the air is ridiculously dry. Those two little facts combine to create a recipe for really dry hands. So yeah, this hand scrub is self-care for me … but it’s also kind of for my clients. Because believe me: nobody wants a massage therapist whose hands feel like medium-grit sandpaper.
