We like them best with coconut oil, but you can use lots of other oils like olive oil or almond oil.
How Long to Make a Scrub
A homemade scrub usually takes about 5 minutes to make so that you can be enjoying your sugar scrub in no time! We find scrubs tend to last 2-4 months if they are kept clean and bacteria-free.
How To Package Your Sugar Scrub
It’s easy to find cute jars and wrap them up with a pretty bow. Tags are great if your DIY Scrub is a gift. Target and Michael’s often stock the perfect size jars in their dollar bins.
Amazon also carries varying shapes and sizes with airtight lids.

How to Use Your Sugar Scrub
We recommend using your homemade Scrub a couple of times per week. However, you always want to try a test patch of skin before regular use.
- Scoop a small amount of the Scrub in your hands with a spoon.
- Scrub all over your hands or feet – or wherever you’d like a little extra softness.
- Allow the Scrub to sit on your skin for 3-4 minutes. Enjoy this time to rest and relax.
- Rinse well, and then pat dry with a soft towel.
TIP: take care in the shower as the oil in the Scrub tends to make the floor slippery.
