This stress-relieving body scrub is an easy way to relax and exfoliate your skin.

I've always been a fan of body scrubs, but I've never found one that I really loved. They were either too harsh, too oily, or didn't smell good. So I decided to create my own, and I'm so glad I did! This scrub is the perfect balance of exfoliating and moisturizing, and the essential oils smell amazing. I love using it after a long day to relax and unwind.
