How do you make sugar scrub?

Simple Sugar Scrub Recipe:

This recipe is a great starting point and can be easily customized with your favorite scents and ingredients:

Ingredients:

* 1 cup granulated sugar

* 1/2 cup oil (olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil, etc.)

* 1/4 cup water

* Optional: 1-2 tablespoons honey for added moisture

* Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or essential oil for fragrance

Instructions:

1. Combine: In a bowl, mix together the sugar, oil, and water until well blended.

2. Add extras: Stir in the honey and/or vanilla extract/essential oil, if desired.

3. Mix well: Ensure all ingredients are fully combined.

4. Store: Transfer the scrub to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place.

Using your Sugar Scrub:

* Wet your skin with warm water.

* Scoop a small amount of scrub into your hand.

* Gently massage the scrub in circular motions onto your skin.

* Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Customization:

* Sugar type: You can experiment with different types of sugar, like brown sugar for a coarser scrub or coconut sugar for a gentler option.

* Oil type: Use different oils based on your skin type. Coconut oil is good for dry skin, while almond oil is good for sensitive skin.

* Add-ins: You can add ingredients like ground coffee for exfoliation, oatmeal for soothing, or finely grated citrus peel for scent and extra exfoliation.

Important Notes:

* Always test a small area of your skin first before applying the scrub to your entire body to ensure you don't have any reactions.

* Don't scrub too hard. Gentle pressure is all you need to exfoliate effectively.

* Avoid sensitive areas like your face and eyes.

* Use your scrub within a few weeks. Homemade scrubs don't have preservatives and can spoil.
