Am I the only one with a fond memory of Pond’s Cold Cream? I just remember slathering it on after a sunburn, not necessarily the approved use, but still, the memory of the coolness lingers with me today. So when Jillee of One Good Thing posted her homemade cold cream recipe I was hooked. And you will be too…get the details here.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub
If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.
What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.
It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.
The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.
If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.

I make my own cold cream also but I don’t use mineral oil. Instead I use a mixture of coconut oil and vegetable oil. I don’t use much water since I usually rub in some water after I put the cream on my face. I don’t use borax either. What would be the reason for the borax? Also, my cold cream isn’t nearly as creamy as Ponds but it works just as well for me. Thanks
