Is Homemade Sugar Scrub Good For Skin?
Sugar is great for exfoliating skin leaving it soft and supple.
What Kind of Oil is Best For Sugar Scrubs?
You can use coconut oil, almond oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and even olive oil. I prefer coconut oil because of the smell, the price, and the fact that it solidifies in colder months making it a little less messy.
Grapeseed oil is great for people with sensitive skin and it soaks into your skin quickly. It is lighter than coconut oil, and good for people who are allergic to skin care products.
If you want a thicker oil, you could use avocado, almond, or coconut oil.
How Do You Make a Sugar Scrub
There are two ways you can make this sugar scrub:
- Whip solidified coconut oil until fluffy. Add sugar and essential oil. Mix thoroughly.
- Or you can skip whipping the coconut oil, and just mix all the ingredients together.
How Long Does It Last?
It will last about 2 months in an airtight container.
