Simple Homemade Sugar Scrubs

When it comes to making homemade sugar scrubs the best way to start is with a very simple recipe. You want one that's basic and only uses a couple of ingredients. Once you make your first recipe you'll see how easy it is just to add additional ingredients to customize it.

Sugar scrubs are a treat for your skin!

Basic White Sugar Scrub

When you want to whip up homemade sugar scrubs in just a minute or two, what do you do? You can start by making a White Sugar Scrub very quickly. Here’s how:

  • Take 1 cup of white granulated sugar

  • Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil

  • Put it into a small glass bowl or jar and mix it together. Use the mixture in the shower immediately.

When you're ready to start modifying the recipe add a few drops of your favorite essential oil. Or...

Substitute another type of oil for the vegetable oil. Almond Oil is often used in skin care recipes.

Of course, you could also substitute brown sugar for the white sugar.

Brown Sugar Exfoliator

You’ve probably already read the section on lip exfoliators. That’s where you can discover simple methods for using brown sugar combined with Kiel’s
lip balm to exfoliate your lips. Did you know that you can use the same methods for callus exfoliating? If it's pretty feet you want then this recipe works well:

  • Take 1/2 cup of brown sugar

  • Add 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly

  • Combine them together into a balm and then rub the calluses on your feet with it. Rinse off and dry. It removes the dry skin and moisturizes your feet at the same time.

Recipe Modifications

Just like the other recipes, this one can be modified to your liking. Why not try adding some lemon to it?
It works well for uneven areas from self-tanner
application.
