Sugar scrubs have always been a popular beauty product. However, they can be a bit pricey and may contain chemicals that you don't want on your body. About a year ago I began researching some healthy and more naturals ways to make beauty products. One that I loved was the brown sugar facial and body scrub. Since I loved it so much I thought you all would love it to! I have a few different recipes that I make for different purposes so here they are!
Back to the Basics
2 parts of brown sugar to 1 part of your favorite oil. I use coconut oil because it smells yummy and plus it's light. You can also add a half a teaspoon of another essential oil just for extra moisture.
For those dark spots and acne scars
I love this recipe because it cleared up the few dark marks I had for acne scars. This is another simple recipe that only requires brown sugar, half the amount of our favorite oil and a few drops of lemon. I like to use fresh lemon, but any lemon juice will work. WARNING: Do not use this recipe everyday. I only use it about three times a week because the lemon can be damaging to the face if over used.
Oooo Tingly!
I really love this recipe especially if you are a person who loves the tingle of peppermint. This recipe like the others requires 2 parts of brown sugar to 1 part of sweet almond oil and a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Not only does this smell delicious, but it promotes circulation of the body which is always good!
These are just a few recipes that I love to use to make my sugar scrubs. If you want further instruction on how to make them, or how to use them use the links below. Happy Scrubbing!
