Scrub Away Dead Summer Skin.
I don’t know about you, but I have some left over icky dry skin trying to slough itself away. And it needs some major help.
While I love scrubs of all kinds, my favorite scrubs have to be sugar scrubs. And when I went into my beauty closet, there was not a single sugar scrub to be found. Ugh. What to do, what to do? Make my own! So, I pulled out my handy dandy homemade beauty recipe files and forgot how many I have! Whoa - I will be trying a different one every few days until I get my skin soft, smoothe, and on the move. (Sorry - it’s early!)
Just in case you would like to join in with me and scrub away the dead summer skin on yourself, here are my sugar scrub recipes:
Brown Sugar Scrub
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of almond oil
1/4 cup of liquid Ivory hand soap
1/4 tsp of vanilla
Lemon Sugar Scrub
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 TBS lemon zest (grated)
Lavender & Rosewood Scrub
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup almond oil
1/2 tsp vitamin E
6 drops rosewood essential oil
4 drops lavender essential oil
Coffee & Brown Sugar Scrub
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
3 TBS fresh coffee grounds
5 tsp almond oil
5 tsp jojoba oil
2 tsp honey
1 tsp vitamin E
1 tsp vanilla
Tea Sugar Scrub
2 cups white sugar
1 cup honey
2 TBS tea
5 drops vanilla

Or…. you can spend $ and let the pros do it for you AND delivered to your door. We just came out with a real Pumpkin scrub and Pumpkin cream. The combo will put you right into the pumpkin patch with Linus!
I love your blog, Teri and thank you again for your review on my whipped shea!! Very best!

Thanks for these recipes! I’ll be sure to try at least one of them. I’m a sugarholic, so why not scrub with it too?

Thank you for the scrub inspiration! I tried the Brown Sugar Scrub recipe with a few adjustments. I added some lemon extract and removed the Ivory hand soap. It’s wonderful and much cheaper than my Fresh Brown Sugar addiction at $65 a pop! Thanks again.

I always keep turbinado sugar on hand for these emergency scrub blends. Adding a few essential oils makes the whole experience even better!

I’ve tried the tea sugar scrub, and it works really well. Thanks for the tip!

My favorite scrub is dark brown sugar and lemon juice. Make a thick past and scrub face and body. I have actually reversed the aging process.
