I LOVE body scrubs. They smell yummy, they make your skin feel soft, silky, and smooth. They make you feel relaxed and pampered after a long day of school or work. But as much as I love them, they’re more of a treat that I get to use every once in a while rather than part of my everyday routine. They’re SO expensive in stores!!

As I scroll through Pinterest and look at all the neat DIY crafts and beauty remedies, I always see DIY scrubs. But every time I think, nah, that’s too much work, I probably don’t have any of that stuff anyway. I’ll just stick to buying them sometimes, I guess.

But the truth is, you can find everything you need to make all kinds of different amazing scrubs in your KITCHEN!! Stuff you most likely already have!

Here are a few simple recipes for body scrubs. You won’t believe how easy they are!

 

Easy Sugar Scrub

-3 parts coarse sugar

-1 part olive oil

-whatever fragrance you want!

 

Banana Sugar Scrub

-1 ripe banana

-3 tablespoons of granulated sugar

-1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

 

Vanilla Coconut Brown Sugar Scrub

-1/2 cup coconut oil

-1/2 cup brown sugar

-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Citrus Salt or Sugar Scrub

-1/2 cup sea salt

-1/2 cup oil of your choice (coconut, olive, vegetable, whatever)

-1 teaspoon of citrus zest (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, or a mix)

 

With all of these recipes, all you need to do is mix them in a jar or some kind of container with a lid. Then use them on damp skin and rinse. SO easy!!! Have fun!
