DIY Sugar Scrub

Here in Colorado our Winters are pretty dry. I mean, we get a lot of snow (resulting in snow days & delays this week!!!) but the moisture doesn’t stay in the air. As a result, our hair is staticy and our skin is dry. In a crazy turn of fate, we still get oily hair and pimples – how does that all add up?!!

I am always on the hunt for something to take care of my dull winter skin – brightening, moisturizing, and not causing outbreaks. It is more complicated than one would hope. Then you also have to look at all those extra ingredients and unpronounceable additives. I had heard so much about Essential Oils and DIY scrubs for healthy skin, so I jumped into making mine. I have been using it in the shower all over my body and it is working! This DIY scrub is so easy to make and I am sure you will love it! It is great for you or to give as a gift!

What you need

  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
  • 15 drops of Essential Lemon Oil
  • Glass jar (or Pyrex container – do not store in all plastic container)

HOW TO

  • Melt the coconut oil if needed and pour into bowl
  • Add brown sugar and mix
  • Drop in 15 drops into the mixture and mix again
  • Store in a glass jar for use
  • Keep one by a sink for hand scrubs or in the shower to use all over your body!

WHY ADD ESSENTIAL LEMON OIL?

  • Rejuvenates sagging or tired-looking skin
  • Increases the luster of dull skin
  • Helps in treating pimples and various skin disorders
  • Reduces excessive oil on the skin
  • Helps remove mental fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, anxiety, nervousness, and nervous tension
  • Refreshes the mind by creating a positive mindset and removing negative emotions
  • Increases concentration and alertness.
  • Lemon oil is also effective as a hair tonic. Many people use lemon oil to get strong, healthy and shiny hair. Lemon oil is also used to eliminate dandruff.

I love a good homemade sugar scrub! I made my own with brown sugar and oil about a year or so ago and just loved it. Now I want to make another one and add some essential oils! Beautiful!

This sugar scrub looks perfect! Lemon is one of my favorite eo. I also use lavender a lot. In my opinion those two a perfect – together and separate.
