In a previous post about a blogger event I attended for Dixie Crystals I mentioned I learned how to make sugar scrubs. The types I learned to make were the Lemon Rosemary hand Scrub Eucalyptus Sugar Scrub, and the Hot Stuff Cinnamon Lip Scrub. I’m a big fan of natural skincare, and products that are all organic. However, what I like even more are homemade scrubs and skincare items. They’re fun to make and use, plus they show great results too. I thought I learned how to make these and was successful that I would share the recipes with you. All three are very easy to make.
Lemon Rosemary Hand Scrub
Supplies
– 1 cup extra fine granulated sugar
-1/2 cup grapeseed oil
-2 tablespoons of rosemary leaves
– 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon essential oil
-1/2 teaspoon rosemary essential oil
-Fresh grated lemon peel (This is optional)
Step 1: Take all your ingredients and mix them together
STep 2: It is okay to add extra of the ingredients such as the grapeseed oil. If you had more grapeseed oil it will give the scrub a more liquid texture.
Step 3: When using the scrub you take a handful and apply to the desired part of your body such as your hands, arms, or feet. In case you are applying it on feet, you can consider using a shower foot scrubber to massage the feet. This might help in cleaning out the dead skin cells.
Step 4: This scrub must be stored in a tight container and used within a month.
STep 5: If you are going to give this as a gift you can obtain a label from the Dixie Crystals website. You can also decorate it with gift wrap, a ribbon, or both.
Eucalyptus Sugar Scrub:
Supplies:
-1/2 cup of extra fine granulated sugar
-1/4 cup of coconut oil
-8 drops of eucalyptus essential oil
-2 to 3 drops of green food coloring
Then follow the same steps as the Rosemary Lemon Hand Scrub
Hot Stuff Cinnamon Lip Scrub:
-1 cup of extra fine granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup of grapeseed oil
– 1 teaspoon of cinnamon bark essential oil
Again follow the same steps as the Rosemary Lemon Hand Scrub. The only difference is that when you apply this scrub to your lips you have to rub it on for at least 1 minute.
All these recipe along with other recipes can be found at the Dixie Crystals website
I definitely plan on making more for myself since I know how to do it now. I have already started using mine and I love the results. They leave my skin feeling so smooth. I was thrilled to immediately notice the results. I even talked The Husband into trying some on his feet. I think his feet looked so much better after the scrubs were applied. He says men don’t care about such things but I believe that even he was a little bit happier afterwards. So I highly recommend trying these recipes. You can’t go wrong.
