How to Make a Sugar Scrub

Olive Oil Sugar Scrub

Get a container. You'll need a small container to mix and keep your sugar scrub in. Find a clean container with a lid that you can spare for at least a few days until you've used all of your scrub. This recipe makes about 2/3 of a cup of scrub, although you can double it to make more. Size your container appropriately.

Put oil into the container. Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into your container. You can also add 1-2 gel caps of vitamin E oil if you want to make this scrub even better for your skin. Simply piece the cap and squeeze it into the oil. If you do this, however, make sure you let the scrub soak on your skin for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

Add in some honey. Now, add in 2 tablespoons (29.6 ml) of honey. Any kind will do, but the thicker the honey is, the better.

Add in the sugar. Pour in 1/2 cup of real sugar. This can be any sugar but raw sugar will be the harshest while white sugar will be the least harsh. Brown sugar falls somewhere in the middle.

Stir it up and use as needed. Now that you have all of your ingredients in the container, mix everything together. If it seems to wet, you can add more sugar. If it's really dry, try adding half a spoon of oil. Store the finished product out on your counter or in a cupboard. Putting it in the fridge will only make it go hard.

Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub

Get a container. You'll need a container to mix and keep your sugar scrub in. This recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups of scrub, so you'll want to find a container big enough. Alternatively you can split the scrub between several smaller containers or halve the recipe.

Put oil into the container. Pour 3 tablespoons of coconut oil into your container. Choose cold-pressed coconut oil since it preserves more of the nutrients. You can also add 1-2 gel caps of vitamin E oil if you want to make this scrub even better for your skin. Simply piece the cap and squeeze it into the oil. If you do this, however, make sure you let the scrub soak on your skin for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

Crush up some dried lavender and mix it into the oil. Using a separate bowl and a blunt object (like the handle of a hammer), crush up some dried lavender. Place the crushed lavender into the oil.
