How to Make a Homemade Sugar Body Scrub
Body scrubs are the perfect way to remove dead skin cells from the body, allowing healthy skin cells to grow. Since body scrubs can become a bit pricey, it is beneficial to learn how to create a homemade body scrub instead. This allows the creator to pick and choose exactly which ingredients go into the scrubs they're using on their body.
Items needed:
- 2 cups sugar
- Olive oil
- Organic extract
- Essential oil
- Container
- Mixing bowl
- Take two cups of sugar and place into a bowl. Almost any type of sugar can be used except for soft brown baking sugar. It can be a combination of brown and white sugars or just one type of sugar if desired.
- Cover the sugar with olive oil. It is important to place enough olive oil over the sugar to cover all of it but not so much that the sugar is drowning in the olive oil.
- Add a few drops of essential oil and the organic extract. This is the fun part of creating a sugar body scrub at home. The variety of essential oils and organic extracts are endless. With so many options to choose from it might become an endless journey trying to create as many fragrance combinations as possible.
- Stir together these ingredients and then pour into a container with a lid. Label the outside of the lid with the fragrance of the body scrub for future reference. When making several types of body scrubs this will become increasingly important.
- Use the body scrub on the body. It is not meant for the face or the hair.
