- Brown sugar is a basic ingredient for homemade sugar scrub, and you can choose either dark or brown sugar. You can also experiment and use white sugar if you want a different texture.
- Obtaining inexpensive jars can be difficult sometimes to find, but you can buy inexpensive glass jar at your local craft or fabric store with vacuum seal lids. Dollar stores also sell Mason jar sometimes that you can use. You can also do your part and recycle jars after use. Use baby food jar after you clean and sterilize to hold your sugar scrub.
- Essential oils and olive oil will make your shower or bathtub floor slippery when you use in a sugar scrub recipe. So, you have to exercise caution to ensure you do not fall. After use, always clean the floor to remove any remaining oil residue.
- Sugar scrubs with oatmeal not only soften the skin, but the oatmeal relives dry itchy skin while exfoliating the skin.
- Scrub your skin in a circular motion with your fingertips or use a washcloth, but exercise caution if you have sensitive skin.
- Avoid putting sugar scrubs on your skin if you have any open wounds, cuts, abrasion or eczema because this could lead to infection.
- Store your sugar scrubs after use, but make sure that you do not get any water into the jar because this would decrease its effectiveness.
- Shelf life is a major concern when you create homemade sugar scrub, but one way to ensure that it will last is to add Vitamin E oil to your favorite recipe. The Vitamin E oil will not only extend the shelf life but nourish the skin as well.
- Give your sugar scrub as a gift. Add a nice label and ribbon and you have a unique gift.
