Ohh, friend! We're glad you're here today with us! Thanks for reading our blog. SBA wouldn't be the same without you!
Okay, so today we're diving into a super simple fan-favorite DIY. An amazing-smelling body and hand sugar scrub! It's almost ridiculous how easy and cheap it is to make this DIY. Not to mention, this makes a great birthday, Christmas, or special occasion gift! It's a gift someone will actually use, and it's ALL NATURAL! No nasty chemicals, unlike the store-bought sugar scrub alternatives.
Before we get into this recipe, it's important to know that sugar can harbor and feed bacteria, which is not good for acne-prone skin! That's why we don't ever recommend using sugar on your face! So, this is NOT a facial scrub. It is only a body and hand scrub!
Alright, how do we make this amazing scrub? Read and watch below!
Recipe:
- 1 cup sugar (I buy it in bulk from Costco. They have an organic brown sugar can one that's great!)
- 3 -4 tbsp. 100% organic avocado or olive oil
- 1 tbsp. dried lavender flowers or ten drops of SBA's organic lavender essential oil.
- ***If you're allergic to lavender, use dried rose, dried rosemary, dried orange peel, or any other dried herb/botanical you'd like. Or use an organic essential oil of your liking!
Directions:
- Stir ingredients together and store in a clean glass jar.
- Should last up to two weeks if wet hands are not dipped into it.
- Pour it into your hand if applying once already in the shower.
Notes:
Lavender flowers are great for people who have sensitivity to essential oils but still want to experience the calming scent of lavender.
