Star Wars DIY: Jakku-Inspired Sugar Scrub

May the Fourth is here again, and we’re happy to be celebrating all things Star Wars! This year The Force Awakens has fans excited for the future of the franchise. The movie brought us back to a desert planet on the edge of nowhere to meet a brand new hero—a scavenger living off the tech left behind by the epic space battles we all know and love. Want to start your day fresh-faced, gazing out over the dune sea, ready for The Force to call to you?
