How to Make Sugar Scrubs at Home

If you love making your own beauty products at home, you’ve undoubtedly made your own body scrubs. Making your own scrubs is incredibly easy, satisfying, and will save you a ton of money in the long run. Today we’ll show you how to make sugar scrubs at home using any type of combination you wish. All you need is sugar, oil, your favorite essential oils, and some mason jars to make some amazing and easy concoctions! These sugar scrub recipes are 100% natural and are great at sloughing off dead skin cells and revealing beautiful soft skin.

How to Make Sugar Scrubs

Before you start making any sort of sugar scrubs, it’s important to remember the ratio. From there on, you can pretty much mix any type of essential oil and concoct your own, unique scent. Homemade sugar scrubs consist of 80% sugar and 20% oil. For most recipes, I use 1 cup of brown or white sugar and 1/4 cup of coconut oil, almond oil, or olive oil. Alternatively, any other type of oil will also work if you don’t have either of the three.

So with that 80-20 ration in mind, now we can go ahead and make some great sugar scrub combinations! As with anything, please remember to test a small patch of skin on your arm to make sure your skin is not overly sensitive to any of the ingredients. We prefer a homemade body scrub over a store bought scrub because they’re incredibly easy to make, will save you a ton of money, and they only contain natural ingredients.
