Easy Sugar Body Scrub Recipe
This simple recipe shows how to make a body scrub with coconut oil but you can change to any oil you prefer. Other oil options are olive oil or almond oil.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of Sugar
- ¼ to 1 cup coconut oil
- Optional Essential oil
- Food Coloring if you want to make your scrub extra pretty. Maybe in your moms favorite color.
- Be sure to add Vitamin E oil for extra skin care.
- Mason Jar
Instructions:
Step One
Mix some of the sugar and all of the oil in a bowl.
For the best homemade body scrub, we used raw sugar as it has better exfoliating power. If you want a softer scrub, use a finer type of sugar.
Step Two
Add in your chosen essential oils while stirring the mixture. For our sugar scrub recipe, we found about 10 drops but this will vary, depending on the quality of oil you use and the type of oil.
For example, you may only need a few drops of stronger scented oils like peppermint but more for floral scents like Rose.
If you wish to color your sugar scrub add the food coloring at this point.
Pop in the oil from a Vitamin E capsule at this step too.
Step Three
Add the rest of your sugar until it is the consistency you want.
Step Four
Put your sugar scrub into a container. We love to put ours in mason jars to give as gifts.
Be sure to take the time to make your sugar scrub gift look gorgeous. Add a ribbon and one of our Free Sugar Scrub Tag printable.
