Sugar scrubs for your complexion

Sugar scrubs for your complexion

Sugar scrubs are a luxurious way to pamper your skin since they exfoliate and moisturize at the same time and will leave your skin feeling smooth and soft.

Sugar scrub
Sugar can be used as a scrub. While washing face add sugar and a little lemon juice to the soap lather and scrub your face.

Coffee & Brown Sugar Scrub

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
3 TBS fresh coffee grounds
5 tsp almond oil
5 tsp jojoba oil
2 tsp honey
1 tsp vitamin E
1 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup almond oil
1/2 tsp vitamin E
6 drops rosewood essential oil
4 drops lavender essential oil

1/4 cup of liquid Ivory hand soap
1/4 tsp of vanilla

Mix ingredients and use as a body scrub/exfoliator.

Home made sugar scrub

·         50 percent white cane sugar (note that organic sucanat, while the best choice for food, doesn’t work as well for this recipe)

·         50 percent vegetable glycerin to moisten the sugar (avocado oil can be a successful substitute)

·         Small amounts of aloe vera gel, vitamin C crystals, or anything healing that dissolves in water

·         1 or 2 drops of essential oil if desired

·         Enough ground hibiscus powder for pink color (if desired)

Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Scoop some of the scrub onto your hand and massage gently onto your skin for a minute (the scrub will actually tighten onto your skin like a masque). Leave on for 3 to 4 minutes before rinsing.
