How To Make Homemade Sugar Scrubs - Simple DIY Recipes
Infographic from U Create
Homemade sugar scrubs are the best!
You get all the benefits of natural, fresh, chemical-free ingredients for a fraction of the price of equivalent store-bought equivalents.

You also have the ease and flexibility of including and combining essential and base oils and other ingredients that are readily available in your kitchen and that suit your mood that day.

As this fantastic Infographic illustrates, DIY scrubs are fast and easy to make, using as few as three ingredients!

The "base" consists of brown or white sugar and common cooking oil (olive, almond or coconut).  To that you can add a few drops of a wide array of essential oils (orange, peppermint, lavender, cucumber ...) and/or a small amount of vanilla extract and honey.

The possibilities are endless but this Infographic provides four simple recipes to exfoliate, invigorate and even soothe skin:

 Sweet Orange Sugar Scrub

❤ Cucumber Mint Sugar Scrub

❤ Vanilla Lavender Sugar Scrub

❤ Honey and Brown Sugar Scrub
