Instructions
 

  • Add all of your ingredients to a small bowl.
  • Stir thoroughly.
  • Add to a mason jar.
  • Use and enjoy!

Notes

Store your homemade sugar scrub in an airtight container, like a glass jar. It should stay fresh for several months. To make it last longer, you can add a teaspoon of vitamin E oil.
Be careful storing glass in wet, slippery places, like the shower.

Tips

    • Add purple food coloring: If you want a purple hue to match the lavender, add a few drops of food coloring until you reach your desired shade of purple.
    • Make a salt scrub: Replace the sugar with either Epsom salts or sea salt for a homemade salt scrub. Be sure to use fine grain salt to avoid skin irritation.
    • Use brown sugar: For a darker color and a softer scrub, replace the white sugar with brown sugar and make a lavender brown sugar scrub.
    • Add more herbs & oil: Dip into your herb garden and clip a sprig of rosemary or a few drops of rosemary oil for an aromatic combination.
    • Adjust to your liking: Prefer a softer scrub? Add more oil? Like things a little dry? Add less! It's up to you!

Variations

  • Lavender vanilla sugar scrub recipe: Either make my vanilla body scrub and add 15-20 drops of lavender or add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and/or a whole vanilla bean to this one! You'll need to use a food processor to break the vanilla bean into small pieces.
  • Honey lavender sugar scrub: Reduce the oil to 1/3 cup and add 1-2 TBS of honey.
  • Lemon lavender sugar scrub recipe: Add 10 drops of lemon essential oil or 1 TBS of lemon juice for a lavender lemon sugar scrub. You can also add the zest of one lemon.
  • Rosemary lavender scrub: Add 1 TBS of chopped fresh rosemary or 5 drops of rosemary essential oil for a woodsy floral combo that smells amazing.
