Trust me, your skin will thank you after making these DIY: Homemade Sugar Scrubs

Okay, let’s be honest here. We all love getting pampered and getting spoiled once in a while. We deserve it, because well, life happens.

But holyyyyyy can pampering and spoiling ourselves get expensive or what?! From masks to bath bombs, even getting a Mani/Pedi can quickly add up.

Which is why I LOVE these super simple homemade sugar scrub recipes. I have been experimenting with sugar scrubs for quite some time now and finally perfected my top 4 favorite recipes to date. I promise they’re amazing and will make your skin feel ridiculously soft.

Not to mention they are a fraction of the cost compared to LUSH or any other store-bought sugar scrubs annnnnd the benefits that these simple ingredients have to offer are fantastic!

Just take a look at some of these benefits and see for yourself.

Brown Sugar: Reduces cellulite appearances, exfoliates, and moisturizes (brown sugar is a natural humectant that draws moisture from the environment and deposits it into your skin).
Olive Oil: Enhances exfoliation, doesn’t clog pores, and offers antioxidant protection (olive oil is made up of three major antioxidants: vitamin E, polyphenols and phytosterols that work together to restore skin smoothness).
White Sugar: Hydrates skin and keeps moisture within, exfoliates, and is a natural source of glycolic acid (white sugar helps penetrate the skin and breaks down skin cells to encourage cell turnover and generate fresher skin).
Coconut Oil: Moisturizes, contains anti-aging properties, and protects the skin from microbial infections (coconut oil is rich in proteins that keep skin healthy and rejuvenated by contributing to cellular and tissue repair).
