Sugar may not be a healthy choice for our diets, but in skincare, it shines! Sugar scrubs are a natural way to soften, exfoliate and freshen skin without chemicals or stress to your skin or your wallet. Here are two sweet and simple scrubs we love…we think you will too!  (Psst…don’t forget Mother’s Day is coming up!)

 

COCONUT ROSE SUGAR SCRUB

This scrub has a sweet, delicate scent that will leave you feeling spa-spoiled!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, softened to a creamy consistency (or baby oil if you prefer)
  • 12-15 rose petals

You will need a food processor or blender and glass jars or containers of your choice.

How to:

  • Put sugar and rose petals into your processor and blend just enough to mix.
  • Blend in just enough oil to get the consistency you prefer. More sugar for a coarse texture, more oil if you prefer a smoother scrub.
  • Spoon the mixture into a large jar or several small containers.

 

SWEET LEMON AND AVOCADO SUGAR SCRUB

This sweet mixture of zesty lemon and sugar will leave your skin feeling fresh, oh-so-soft and ready for summer.
