Sugar is actually a natural glycolic acid which is very often used to slough off dead skin cells to stimulate the growth of new cells. A good DIY sugar scrub will gently exfoliate while also moisturizing to help you achieve glowing summer skin.
Not only is sugar scrub great for your skin, it’s easy to make, and you can customize it with any scents that you like! You can leave your scrub unscented or mix in your favorite essential oil or even a blend of essential oils for added benefits.
Homemade Sugar Scrub
Yield: 1/2 pint
What you will need:
3 tablespoons carrier oil – you can use olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, or your favorite neutral oil for skin. I recently have been using argan oil.
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil or combination of essential oils (optional)
glass container that’s at least 1/2 pint in size
1/3 cup sugar
5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil or combination of essential oils (optional)
glass container that’s at least 1/2 pint in size
Before applying a sugar scrub clean your skin with lukewarm to warm water or a warm, damp washcloth. Even better is to take a hot shower or a steam bath to clean and open up your pores.
Massage the scrub into moist skin with your fingers or a washcloth. Let the oil sit for a few minutes on your skin, then rinse well.
Enjoy your beautiful glowing skin!
