The Benefits of Sugar Scrubs
Beyond it’s ability to pamper you at an extremely inexpensive cost, a sugar scrub is a good choice to exfoliate and smooth your skin if it’s extremely sensitive. A scrub can be used all over the body, not just the face.
When making a sugar scrub yourself, another benefit will be it contains minerals that are found in sugar cane that are good for your body. Along with the glycolic acid found in natural sugars, the minerals can be protective to your skin keeping toxins out.

Tina says
Will it last longer if stored in the refrigerator?
Erin Henry says
Yes, Tina, it will last longer in the fridge. However, you’ll want to let it come to room temp before trying to use as it will harden in the refrigerator.
Sheryl says
Hi,
I tried this it just smells like brown sugar. Any suggestions I followed the recipe even added extra. The scrub is still nice.
Thanks
Erin Henry says
I would make sure your spices are fresh, Sheryl. If they’ve been sitting a while, they might not be as potent.
Kelly says
I used like a ton of cinnamon and more vanilla!
Erin Henry says
Nice, Kelly! Those always make a yummy scrub!
Tamny says
I just made this and it doesn’t smell like anything at all…
I used Brown sugar, olive oil, pumpkin pie spice & vanilla. I even added extra pumpkin pie spice! Nope…. No smell whatsoever! ????
Erin says
That’s no fun!! Check to make sure your spices are fresh. Over time, they lose some of their potency and don’t smell as fragrant.
Cherryl Ehlenburg says
I love these type of recipes, and I love the fragrance of the holidays. I look forward to trying this!

What a clever idea to include spices in your sugar scrub! I will have to try this next time I make mine!

You are so right, Kat! It does smell amazing! And a lot less calories than a pumpkin spice latte!
