Homemade Hand and Body Scrubs

Hi everyone! Here are some great, easy body scrubs that will make your skin feel ah-mazing!  We love making scrubs and here are a few of our favorites! Hope you enjoy!
Mixing the Citrus Hand Scrub

Citrus Hand Scrub


2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup oil (we used olive)
4 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. lime juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Just mix them all together and store in an air-tight container.  Use as a cleaning, softening, de-grubbing hand scrub!
Ingredients for a yummy scrub

Cocoa-Coffee Body Scrub

Chocolate for the scrub!

1 cup sugar
1 cup coffee grounds
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup coconut oil
Pouring the Chocolate-y goodness!

Mix and pour all ingredients into an air-tight container and use in the shower or bath to fight aging, red bumps on the backs of arms, dry skin, and other impurities.  And it will smell oh-so-good!
Pouring for the Brown Sugar Scrub


Brown Sugar Scrub

2 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 Tbs. vanilla extract
1/4 cup olive oil

This can be stored in an air-tight container after mixing and used anytime you'd like to soften your skin and smell like a delicious, freshly-baked cookie.

Peppermint Stick Body Scrub
Peppermint Stick Body Scrub

2 cups white sugar
1/4 cup olive oil

The extracts
First the sugar

Lots of Sugar

Now some oil


Pouring it in
ooh

Now add your choice of extract

And mix it all together!




Do any of you make your own body scrubs? What kind do you make?  We hope these scrubs leave your skin feeling beautiful and soft!
