DIY Tuesdays: Homemade Sugar Scrub
If you love natural cosmetics like I do, you will love this sugar scrub recipe. My skin felt so silky I had to share with you. I used on my face and body and it worked wonders!
I adapted this recipe by adding grapeseed oil, a natural antioxidant and moisturizer.
What you will need:
– 25% Vegetable Glycerin (or coconut oil)
– 25% Grapeseed oil (optional)
– 50% white sugar
– one or two drops of essential oil (I personally love pink grapefuit)
– Glass or plastic container (I bought mine at Walmart, but there’s a similar one here)
– ribbon, to decorate
Mix them together until you get a pasty texture. I also created a label in Photoshop for the scrub to complete the packaging:
Download Sugar Scrub label.pdf (this label is 2.5″x1.75, and it needs to be printed on full sheet label sheet).
Download Sugar Scrub Label Avery size.pdf (this one is 2″x4″ and is compatible for Avery labels).
If you do not have Adobe Reader yet, you can download it for free here.
I tried to download the label pdf, but it said page not found.
Are they still available to download?
I make the same sort of thing, (I love grapefruit too but I also use lavender sometimes, or go crazy and mix both together) but I do it with honey, sugar, and a few drops of olive oil.
This is such a great idea for take away! Easy, cheap and useful. Thanks for posting it
How long is the scrub good for?
