Brown Sugar Sugar Scrub – Easy, DIY Recipe

Brown sugar is less abrasive in something like a sugar scrub. Try out this recipe and enjoy it for yourself!

When I began creating sugar scrub recipes, I knew I wanted variety. I did a lot of research prior to landing on a few favorite scents. However, I knew I wanted to create something my husband could use. A musky scent, perfect for a man or someone who likes earthy notes.

Enter in – brown sugar and cedarwood essential oils.

Prior to making a brown sugar sugar scrub, I made a lavender sugar scrub and an essential oil blend sugar scrub. I didn’t realize what a difference using something like brown sugar would make! This sugar scrub is much less abrasive than a traditional granulated sugar sugar scrub. Consider using brown sugar for sensitive skin.

WHY MAKE YOUR OWN BEAUTY PRODUCTS?

There are a slew of reasons you would want to begin creating your own beauty products – gaining control of what products your family uses, cutting out a grocery store and choosing higher quality products being chief among them.

Whatever route you take to creating your own beauty products, just know that you are creating something beautiful for you and your family. And taking ownership of what we put on, and in, our bodies is never something to be ashamed of.
