The Homemade Brown Sugar Scrub

The Homemade Brown Sugar Scrub

This is one of my favorite brown sugar scrub recipes simply because of how quick and easy it is to make and how great it exfoliates my sensitive skin, leaving it silky smooth.  I prefer brown sugar scrubs over white cane sugar scrubs most of the time due to the sensitivity of my skin and the smell of brown sugar is much better in my opinion.  There are many varieties to this basic recipe and you can play with it until you get the sugar scrub just right for your skin type.

Ingredients You Will Want For Your Brown Sugar Scrub

• 1 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Cup Sweetened Almond Oil (Don't have any? Try this one)
• 1 tsp Vitamin E (I cut open a couple Vitamin E liquid gel caps)
• 1/2-1 tsp Vanilla Extract

&nbps;

Optional Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions

• The amount of almond oil you use will depend on your personal preference and skin type, experiment with more or less oil until you get your perfect mix.
• You can substitute the almond oil for pure sesame oil (not roasted). extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil or any other oil you like that is suitable for the skin.  I prefer almond oil due to the many benefits of almond oil on the skin.
• In place of the vanilla extract you can use your favorite essential oil or fragrance oil.  Or if you are in a pinch you can leave it out altogether as it's mainly included for added aroma.
• The Vitamin E is also not a necessity but it adds some skin nourishment to the brown sugar scrub.
• You can add a little honey for extra moisturizing on dry skin.
