Pomegranate Body Scrub

I have this recipe torn out of the May 2009 issue of BH&G. I haven't made it yet, but this might be a fun gift for teachers especially at the holidays when pomegranates are in season.

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1/2 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons oil (vegetable, avocado, or sunflower)
1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)

In a small bowl, combine sugar and pomegranate seeds and crush both with a spoon. Add oil and mix. The pomegranate will naturally scent the scrub, but if you want additional scent, add a couple drops of essential oil. Massage gently onto damp skin. There should be enough for a full body scrub. Rinse off.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Scrubs that are sugar or salt-based will keep up to a month if stored in airtight packaging.
