DIY Sugar Body Scrub
A quick and easy DIY homemade sugar body scrub that leaves your skin feeling luxurious, exfoliated and clean. It's made without the chemicals or parabens that generally come in store bought beauty products. And you probably already have all the ingredients in your cupboards! Feel free to experiment with the essential oil scents. I use lavender essential oil in this recipe but some other popular scents that would work just as well are: tea tree, lemon, tangerine or orange, frankincense, or lemongrass. Pick a scent that works for you and how you want to feel while you're in the shower or bath.
Equipment
- Medium size bowl
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Mixing spoon
- 8 ounce mason jar with lid
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Pure epson salt I used Dr Teal's but there are tons of other brands you can use as well.
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar Optional: you can substitute with using 1 cup of pure epson salt if you don't want to include the brown sugar.
- 10 tsp Avocado oil Or any carrier oil will do e.g.: grapeseed oil.
- 1 tbls Pure high grade lavender essential oil You can substitute with any essential oil scent.
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract Optional: if you'd rather less of a vanilla scent and more of the essential oil scent, you can forego this step.
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the order noted above.
- Mix everything together fully.
- Put into a jar (like a mason jar) and you're done!

I had no idea a scrub was so easy to make! I have always refrained from using these store bought products because of all the ‘extra unwanted’ ingredients. Now I can use a scrub everytime I shower, which is helpful in eliminating dead skin and leaving your body feeling soft. Thank you!
It’s very easy to make! And it leaves a soft, refreshing, and clean feeling on your skin afterward too. Added bonus you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen so no need to make an extra run to the grocery store. Happy bathing!
