Brown Sugar Scrub
Looking for a fresh facial or body scrub? Wait until you try this one! Smells wonderful! Be prepared for the kids to come running wanting the snack they smell you creating in the kitchen!
Ingredients:
1 cup Regular Brown Sugar
1 cup Sugar in the Raw (any large granular type)
1 cup Granulated White Sugar
1 cup Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
Directions:
Combine the sugars together in a medium bowl. Pour the oil in the sugar mix a little at a time and work with the back of a spoon until the sugar is all damp and combined. Stir in vanilla. This scrub will look and feel like damp sand texture.
Another way to make is to place the sugars and vanilla in a food processor and gently pulse until blended. Slowly add the oil and continue to pulse just until combined.
You do not want to over work the scrub because you may end up dissolving the sugar in the oil.
Store in airtight container for up to a month.
To Use:
Facial Scrub:
Work 1 Tablespoon in your palms until easy to spread and then gently rub on face and neck. Rinse with warm water.
Body Scrub:
Place half a cup on a damp warm wash towel and scrub away in the shower. Rinse and shower as usual.
Note: If using in the shower, be careful as the oils may cause the shower or tub to be a little slick until the scrub has been washed down the drain.
Scrubs like this one make great jar or basket gifts. You can whip this up in minutes and place in a pretty bottle or container with a nice wash towel for a special treat.
I love the idea of making my own sugar scrub! All of the benefits without the added chemicals is definitely a plus.
These make great gifts. I’d add some essential oils.
WONDERFUL HOME REMEDIES CHEAP AND WORKS BETTER
I LOVE THIS IDEA. IT’S GREAT TO USE THIS BECAUSE IT’S MADE AT HOME AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN IT.
Thanks for sharing this idea!
I love making bath items and I’ll be making this scrub today!! I bet it does smell great!
This looks great! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds wonderful! I’ve never seen it with brown sugar before!
Good idea, love using stuff on hand. TFS.
So need to try!
I never heard of this before. I am going to try this out though.
This looks like a great body scrub! I’m impressed that I have most of the ingredients in my cupboard right now! I excited to give it a try!
If I were into body rubs this would be great to try, it would also make a great homemade gift for the holidays.
That would be interesting to try. I have never used it but I have heard from others that have and they liked it. I just never seem to have the time to mix some up.
86 I’m still having trouble with the number. It won’t let me add it in the space provided. Hope this goes through. I pinned this to try. It sounds amazing!
I have never made my own sugar scrub before. It looks like yours turned out really well. I would love to try this myself. Thank you for sharing!
I would save a lot of money making scrubs at home.
I love using sugar scrub on my legs to exfoliate before I shave. So much better to make you own instead of buying them!
This sounds like a wonderful and fragrant treatment. It does indeed remind me of growing up, cooking in my mother’s kitchen. It also reminds me of an oatmeal I loved growing up. I am really looking forward to trying this out!
I like to make scrubs and bath salts as presents. Fun and can make them to suit the person.
I always mean to make this scrub but always just buy different kinds. I love using scrubs! Thank you for the recipe. 🙂
I’ve recently started to do these and not only does it make my skin smell amazing, I noticed that shaving after the scrub makes for the smoothest feeling ever!
That is a simple recipe for a body scrub with things we usually have in the house. Thank you for sharing with us!!!!
What a great gift idea! Thanks for sharing!
This was fun to make!
I love the sugar body scrub! It makes your skin so soft and smell good too! I bet everyone wants on your gift list!
