Homemade sugar scrubs consist of 80% sugar and 20% oil. For most recipes, use 1 cup of brown or white sugar and 1/4 cup of coconut oil, almond oil, or olive oil. Alternatively, any other type of oil will also work if you don’t have either of the three.
Orange sugar scrub is great for mornings as the orange is super energizing and will wake up all of your senses! Mix 1 cup brown sugar, with 1/4 cup coconut oil and 7-8 drops orange essential oil.
Cucumber mint sugar scrub is extremely refreshing and perfect for hot summers. Mix 1 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 5 drops peppermint essential oil, and 4 drops of cucumber essential oil
Vanilla Lavender- A soothing scrub that will calm all your senses! Perfect scrub for before bed! Mix 1 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 5 drops lavender essential oil. A deliciously sweet and decadent sugar scrub that’s perfect for cooler days. Mix 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1 tsp honey.
Use the above scrubs 2-3 times a week in the shower. Grab a small amount with your hand, and rub against skin in slow, circular motions. The sugar will remove dead skin cells, revealing soft, bump free skin. The oil will hydrate dry skin, and the essential oils will give your skin a beautiful glow.
