Hi Heather – how long does the sugar scrub keep? Should it be refrigerated?
Thanks,
Sheila
I’m not sure what the shelf life is since I usually use it up so quickly! It might last a couple of weeks, but honestly I use it up much faster than that. I don’t keep it in the fridge I store it in a cool, dark place in my bathroom cabinet. Enjoy!! 🙂
Thank you, Heather.
Hi Heather, I just mixed up my coconut rose scrub and I have a question. Even though we ground up the rose petals when someone uses the body scrub in the shower could it clog the drain? Or does it grind so small that’s not an issue? Thanks so much, Melissa
You can grind them very fine in the coffee grinder or food processor.
