Ingredients for DIY Grapefruit Sugar Scrub
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup oil (almond, olive or coconut work best)
1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional – it helps preserve your scrub and provides a little extra softening)
15 drops grapefruit essential oil
How to Make A Sugar Scrub
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. You can add more or less oil to your liking.
- Store in an airtight container. Since this recipe doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s best if used within a month or two.
Tips for Making a Homemade Grapefruit Sugar Scrub
- It’s best not to use fractionated coconut oil (the liquid kind) to get all the therapeutic benefits coconut oil offers. Just melt regular coconut oil to the right consistency if that’s what type of oil you are using.
- Although vitamin E oil is optional, it does help homemade sugar scrubs last longer without using a preservative.
- We’ve linked a product recommendation above. However, check your local natural food store for grapefruit essential oil, as we see it cheaper there.
How to Use Your Sugar Scrub
- Scoop a small amount of the Pink Lemonade Sugar 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.
