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.

What a clever idea to include spices in your sugar scrub! I will have to try this next time I make mine!
I love these type of recipes, and I love the fragrance of the holidays. I look forward to trying this!
This pumpkin spice sugar scrub is one of my favorites, especially this time of year! Use it in good health, Cherryl!
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! 👎
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.
