I love making my own bath and body products! They’re actually really easy to make and only require a couple ingredients. Yeah, those bath products at the store that contain about 30 different ingredients…you don’t need all of those to have a great product! I especially love making homemade body scrubs for different seasons…a citrus scrub for summer, a floral scrub for spring and this Eucalyptus Wintergreen Sugar Body Scrub Recipe for winter! It smells divine and is actually really soothing and good for your skin. Men and women alike love the smell of this easy homemade sugar body scrub.

I like my diy sugar body scrub pretty strong smelling so I add 10 drops of each essential oil. Add 5 drops of each if you’d like a lighter smell. Once everything is added and mixed together well, transfer to your small jar and place the lid on.

How To Use Body Sugar Scrub:
Remember to perform a patch test before using any new skincare product, especially if you have sensitive skin, to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
This sugar body scrub recipe is perfect to use on dry hands, dry feet, even legs and arms.
Rinse your hands in warm water. Take a small amount, about a teaspoon, and gently rub between your palms, in between your fingers, the backs of your hands. This gentle rubbing will cause a gentle exfoliation of dead skin. At the same time the coconut oil will be working to soothe dry skin. When you are done rubbing, just rinse off with warm water and a touch of soap. Your hands will feel softer and smoother as well as being more hydrated.
Benefits Of Using Sugar Body Scrub
- Exfoliation: Sugar crystals are natural exfoliants that help remove dead skin cells, dirt, and other impurities from the skin’s surface. Regular exfoliation promotes smoother, brighter-looking skin by revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath.
- Softens and Smooths: The granules of sugar in the scrub help to gently slough away rough patches of skin, leaving it feeling softer and smoother.
- Hydration: Sugar is a natural humectant, meaning it helps to draw moisture from the environment into the skin. When combined with a carrier oil, like coconut oil or almond oil, sugar scrubs can help to hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling moisturized and supple.
- Improves Circulation: Massaging the sugar scrub onto the skin stimulates blood flow, which can help improve circulation and promote healthier-looking skin.
- Preps Skin for Other Treatments: Exfoliating with a sugar scrub helps to prepare the skin for other skincare treatments, such as moisturizers, serums, or self-tanners, by removing dead skin cells and allowing these products to penetrate more effectively.
