You could try it. Would you be using fresh ginger and lime juice? Or would you be using ginger shavings? I wonder about the lime juice being drying on the skin. The essential oils have such a concentrated fragrance you don't need to use very much, and they store forever, so I'd think they'd be a better choice ultimately. Last year I tried for a vanilla scent and I used real vanilla - it didn't pan out very well as the scent was very faint. I'm sorry, that's about all I can tell you. Hi Cath – I’m not sure.

I'm really looking forward to trying this out. Hi Betsy – call me dumb but would I be best using real lime and ginger in the scrub or artificial scents do you reckon?

I tend to like single floral notes, too. I'd like to make gardenia and lilac - wouldn't that be lovely? Thank you. Hi Kim - Your hands and my heels. It's really tough in winter to stay on top of sensitive reactions. I hope this will help your hands. Mine feel great after I mix up a batch. Thanks. Hi Jannie - This is a perfect mother/daughter project. The little ones don't have to worry about careful measurements as it all can be done by "feel." I think Grandma will love this gift, too! I've not thought about after bath moisturizer. I find when I use this product it takes the place of it! Thanks. Hi Vered - This is a great stress-reliever. The process of mixing it up and then using something you've made is very satisfying. Thanks. Hi Cath - About the only thing I can say about how long the scrub lasts is that it doesn't last long enough! I think as long as your container is airtight you can take a cue from the expiry date on the oil that you're using. Ginger and lime sounds really nice together! I'd like to try vanilla, too. A friend of mine wears sandalwood and it is delicious on her, but not so much on me. Funny how different scents work for different folks. Thank you.

I love Elemis Lime and Ginger body scrub but it's so pricey and it doesn't look any different to the stuff you made. Now I need to add Epsom salts to my list. Have you any idea roughly how long the scrub will keep for? Hi Betsy – This is wonderful.

I can smell the lavender and grapefruit now too, two of my favorite scents. And both so healing, I did not know that. It will be fun to make this with Kelly! We just finished some folk art painting for her grandmother and grandfather. And she will love the scrub process. And product. Great gift item for her teachers and our friends. And how about your after-bath moisturizer? Do you make your own of that too?
