I&#8217;m not a big fan of liquid soap, so I created this version. The soap though, is a great idea to clean and scrub at the same time! I still include oil though for moisturizing purposes since soap can be so drying, especially when your poor hands have been digging in the dirt.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part of the other tutorial is that it&#8217;s not really about perfect measuring- there&#8217;s no leftover bits that won&#8217;t fit in your jar because the recipe is measured in your jar! So I used that same technique.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5828\" src=\"https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01-450x302.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01-450x302.jpg 450w, https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01-700x469.jpg 700w, https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01-640x429.jpg 640w, https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/museofthemorning.com\/museblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/handscrub01.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Ingredients:<\/b><br \/>\nsugar<br \/>\nsweet almond oil (this is a great emollient, but you could also use olive oil)<br \/>\n1\/3 &#8211; 1\/2 bar of ivory soap<br \/>\nLavender (optional)<\/p>\n<p>Lavender essential oil<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I found these cute jars at Goodwill.
