5 Minute Homemade Sugar Scrub Recipe

by Tyrika on October 5, 2009

Welcome back!

Making a sugar scrub at home is a lot easier than you think.  In less than 5 minutes, you can whip up a batch and be well on your way to enjoying the first day of your renewed baby smooth skin.  The recipe below is quick and simple: easy to make, even easier to use; all from ingredients already in your kitchen. I highly recommend adding an “Extra” or two to make your scrubbing experience that much more nourishing and enjoyable!

You’ll need:

  • 1cup of sugar (raw, refined, or brown)
  • ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil

Extras (optional ingredients):

  • 5 to 10 drops of favorite essential oils (aromatherapudic)
  • 1 tbs honey (natural humectant drawing in moisture to skin)
  • ¼ cup ground coffee beans (enhanced exfoliation; uplifting scent)

Directions:

  1. Pour sugar and oil in a glass or plastic container that has a tightly sealing lid.
  2. Stir until sugar and oil are well blended.
  3. Stir in any listed Extras as desired.

Now, head directly to your shower and apply liberally to your entire body by hand, or with a bath cloth or mitt, paying special attention to known dry areas.  Your scrub is safe to use daily or as needed. Be sure to store it tightly sealed and it will keep for about 1-2 weeks.

Now wasn’t that easy? Happy Scrubbing!
