How to make a sugar scrub by BringMeThunder

"A fun, aromatic mess!"

How I did it: Based on the limited ingredients I had around the house, I took out an old jelly jar and started throwing things together:

  • brown & white sugar
  • coffee grounds
  • olive oil
  • lemon
  • vanilla
  • dashes of vinegar & baking soda

So, it's more a coffee scrub than sugar scrub, but I tried it out and although it was a bit sticky (from too much lemon), after rinsing, my skin feels amazing!  Woohoo!

Eventually, I will use more scrub-typical ingredients, like jojoba or grapeseed oil, hibiscus or lavender.

    I made a salt scrub today, 2 months ago

    sugar scrub next time I can afford to buy groceries.

    In a small jar, I mixed olive oil, lemon rind and juice, course sea salt, and a little white vinegar. My skin feels so gooood.

    ah... 3 years ago

    I decided to support a fellow business-woman and ordered some yummy scrubs from www.skindecent.com – but maybe when I have the empty containers, I’ll use them to make my own scrubs. Putting them in tupperware is just sort of lame.

    Brown Sugar Scrub

    4 cups sugar

    4 cups brown sugar

    1 cup finely ground almond meal or apricot meal

    1/2 cup honey

    1/2 cup almond oil or apricot kernel oil

    2 T. avocado butter – melted (optional)

    5-10 drops vitamin E oil

    fragrance if desired

    sunflower oil if desired

    Combine all ingredients and spoon into desired container. Allow the scrub to sit overnight after the addition of the 1/2 cup of almond or apricot kernel oil. If more oil is necessary, add the sunflower oil to your desired scrub consistency.

    sooo good! 3 years ago

    I make them all the time :) I think they work really well. Just mix sugar and oil and some essential oil or vanilla extract and use it in the shower :) You can also use sea salt, which I like better.
