I see sugar scrubs on the shelf anywhere from $10-$50 for a small jar. Frankly, I’m annoyed by this. Partly because, I’ve always been the sucker that has bought them for that much! Sugar scrubs are incredibly cheap and easy to make, so please don’t pay more than you have to ever again!
If you’ve never used a sugar scrub before, you’re in for a real treat.
- It exfoliates your skin, leaving it feeling smooth and hydrated.
- The sugar is easier on your hands than salt, which can dry out your skin.
- It safe, with no harmful chemicals or side affects.
- It’s easy. I can make a scrub in 30 seconds.
- It’s customizable, allowing you to use your creativity and preferences.
The best thing about sugar scrubs is that you can’t really mess this up. You can customize the scrub to your liking, with hundreds of possibilities. You can try small batches as trials, and spend just pennies on experimenting.
Your Sugar Scrub Equation
Exfoliant |
+Moisture |
+Goodies |
|
White sugar
Brown sugar Cane sugar Turbinado sugar Almonds, hazelnuts, or other nuts Oatmeal Crushed candy canes Herbs |
Olive oil
Aloe vera Vitamin E oil or baby oil Coconut or jojoba oil Banana or Tomato Plain Greek yogurt Tea tree, avocado or almond oil Honey |
Essential oils
Vitamin C crystals Spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, etc) Vanilla Cardamom (ground or oil) Citrus zest Hibiscus powder Lotion |
If you’re not sure how much of each to add, just experiment in small batches. I like the scrub pretty dry, while some like the oil–sugar ratio to be much higher. Just add your exfoliant to a bowl, and slowly start adding whatever moisturizer you choose.
I prefer to get about a teaspoon or so in my hands, spend at least 30 seconds scrubbing, then rinse it off with very warm water. You’ll be amazed at how good it feels. Feel free to use this on your hands, feet, face, or anywhere on your body, at the sink or in the shower.
For Christmas, I made labels, bought these awesome wide mouth Mason jars and tied rafia around it. Minus the cost of the jars, I made 9 jars for maybe $5.
My Scrub

So go for it! Experiment!

Yes i was wondering how much of each ingredient would i need to make this
Hi, this weekend is nice for me, since this moment
i am reading this enormous educational paragraph here at my home.
You might like to know I’ve had 60 re-pins and 16 likes on Pinterest, and some one just commented this: “She has a great Sugar Scrub Equation to make your own sugar scrubs.”
People love it!
I’ve been making mine for years with white or brown sugar, lotion and peppermint oil. I find this isn’t as greasy as the oils, easy and cheap to make and it works wonderfully. If I make it as a lip scrub I use coconut oil instead of the lotion. I don’t measure anything, just mix it until it feels right.If it sits too long, add a little water to it. Also don’t use too much of it while bathing or the water will get sticky!
Thanks for the directions, I love the idea of making these for gifts. How long do you think the made up scrub would last in a sealed jar?
If you sealed the jars properly, they would last a very long time unopened. I’m not positive on how long…but long! If you just close the jars like I did without sealing them, they’ll probably last a few months? I could tell when I didn’t use it for about 2 weeks, the top layer got a tiny bit crusty, so I would imagine that it’d get even more funky if it just sat for months.
