DIY Lavender Sugar Scrub

If you have been following along, you know that I recently shared two fun summer inspired sugar scrubs. In case you missed them you can find them here and here. Well, for something a little different yet still just as fun…the sugar scrub I’m sharing today is great for those much-needed relaxing moments and it’s a refreshing all-over body scrub.

My recommendation: fill up the tub with a warm bubble bath, and bring along this scrub for a relaxing experience.

Did I mention how easy it is to make? Mix together the above ingredients in a bowl…

Initially it will look somewhat runny, but the sugar will eventually absorb the liquid. Of course, you can adjust the sugar to liquid ratio for your preferences. Add a few drops of red and blue food coloring to make it purple {Less is better when it comes to food coloring and sugar scrubs}. Then package it in jar or container of your choice {just make sure it has a tight seal!}. And…

As I have said many times before, sugar scrubs make great gifts…and this one is no exception!

Summer Sugar Scrubs: Part 1

I have been making homemade sugar scrubs for almost a year now—It’s my new favorite hobby! So, I thought I would share two different scrubs that are perfect for the summertime. They are great for a little self-pampering or they make wonderful gifts as well. Today is all about the Coconut Sugar Scrub, and I will be back next week to share a recipe for a Lemonade Sugar Scrub…so stay tuned!

INGREDIENTS FOR THE COCONUT SUGAR SCRUB:

This recipe with fill an 8-12 oz. container {I like to use mason jars}. Mix the above ingredients together in a large bowl. If you want a more liquid-like consistency, add more oil. If you want a more solid texture, add more sugar.

It should look something like this…

Package the scrub in a container with a tight seal…

Enjoy for yourself or share with someone! Make sure to check back next week for the Lemonade Sugar Scrub!

Vanilla-Brown Sugar Body Scrub

Brown sugar, sweet almond oil and vanilla extract pair together to create this rejuvenating body scrub. It’s perfect for a little “mama pampering” and it’s also a great way to get dry winter skin ready for the spring! 4 ingredients and 5 minutes—that’s all you need!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup sweet almond oil

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

In a medium-sized bowl mix together the sugars until they are well combined. Add the almond oil and vanilla extract; Stir everything together just until combined. The only thing left to do is to package this fabulous all-over body sugar scrub!

I packaged mine in a mason jar, but you can use any type of container with a tight seal. This body scrub is a great little treat to keep in the shower, a wonderful addition for at-home manicures/pedicures and it also makes a wonderful gift!
