How do you make a homemade sugar scrub?
Making your own sugar scrub is easy and affordable. You can make several sugar scrub jars to use yourself or gift as a sweet gift to others. I share how to make a homemade sugar scrub using supplies found at Dollar Tree below!
How long does DIY sugar scrub last?
I label the shelf-life for a homemade sugar scrub at 6-months. Keep the container sealed to avoid getting water or other elements inside the container.
Which sugar is best for body scrub?
I prefer to use granulated sugar, but I’ve used brown sugar as well. Brown sugar is a bit more coarse for body scrubs so granulated sugar might be a bit more abrasive. Raw sugar is more coarse than both of these and would be good for a foot scrub.

WHERE TO BUY ESSENTIAL OILS
I only use Young Living essential oils because of the quality and their method of distilling produce the best essential oils available on the market today. In fact, Young Living has a Seed to Seal guarantee that surpasses any other oil company’s guarantee of the quality and purity of their oils. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather pay a little more guaranteed quality oils than paying a little less for cheap oils that may or may not provide the same benefit.
Also, Do Not Buy Young Living Essential Oils from Amazon, eBay or other third-party sites.
The reason I only buy oils directly from Young Living is the same reason I wouldn’t buy a designer handbag from the back of a van on a street corner. It’s probably not the real thing or has been tampered with in some way. You wouldn’t want to apply or ingest an “oil” that someone put something strange in or receive a bottle of “water” instead of oil (trust me, this happens all the time!). Please don’t be the one that gets scammed by buying essential oils anywhere other than Young Living!
Now that that’s out of the way, here are few more facts & benefits that Young Living offers:
- YL offers many membership benefits, including monthly essential oils, rewards programs to earn FREE product
- Young Living is also the only essential oil company that is approved by the FDA with a special line of Vitality oils and products
- YL has 22+ years of experience and is the only oil company that owns its own farms
