Ingredients for DIY Grapefruit Sugar Scrub

1 cup 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 air tight 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 therapeutic benefits it offers. Just melt regular coconut oil to the right consistence if that’s what type of oil you are using.
Although the vitamin E oil is optional, it does help homemade sugar scrubs last longer without using a preservative.
I’ve linked a product recommendation above. However, check your local natural food store for grapefruit essential oil, as I’ve seen 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 to sit on your on your skin for 3-4 minutes. Enjoy this time to rest and relax.
Rinse well and then pat dry with a soft towel.
