๐ŸŒธ Super Simple Sugar Scrub

An uber-moisturizing, exfoliating sugar scrub recipe that will wake up your skin and your mind with two energizing scent choices: Lemongrass & Ginger or Rosemary & Spearmint.


Base Ingredients

  • Small ¼ pint (125 ml) jam jars

  • 1 cup granulated white sugar

  • ¾ cup sweet almond oil


๐Ÿ‹ Lemongrass & Ginger Recipe

  • 3 drops lemongrass essential oil

  • 1 drop ginger essential oil

  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder (for natural coloring)


๐ŸŒฟ Rosemary & Spearmint Recipe

  • 2 drops rosemary essential oil

  • 2 drops spearmint essential oil

  • ¼ tsp spirulina powder (for natural green coloring)

  • ¼ tsp crushed dried mint leaves


Make It!

  1. In a bowl or large 1 L measuring cup, mix together the sugar, oil, and your chosen recipe ingredients.

  2. Spoon the mixture into small jam jars and smooth the top.

  3. Seal tightly and label your jars.


๐Ÿ’› Lemon Meringue Sugar Scrub

The delicious scent of lemon and vanilla together will brighten your mind and awaken your appetite!


Ingredients

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 3–4 drops vanilla absolute (essential oil)

  • 5–6 drops lemon essential oil


Make It!

  1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl.

  2. Spoon into a clean, dry jar for storage.

Note:

  • Vanilla absolute is different from vanilla extract — it’s much more concentrated. A few drops add a rich scent and help mask the olive oil aroma.

  • Color tip: Vanilla absolute is quite dark, so it may slightly tint your scrub brown.

  • Oil substitution: If you’re not a fan of olive oil, you can substitute the same amount of coconut oil or sweet almond oil. Using one of these will also keep your scrub white in color.
