Why You Should Be Using a Sugar Scrub

Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Alive n Vibrant blog!

Exfoliating is an essential way to get rid of dead skin cells, leaving your skin glowing. Instead of using a rough scrubber and scraping your skin, try using a gentle sugar scrub.

Sugar scrubs are great for gently exfoliating, which can help make your skin brighter and softer. If you plan to use a sugar scrub, use it a maximum of once per week. Over exfoliating can lead your skin to become dry and irritated. As well as being great for exfoliating, sugar scrubs can be used in a relaxing way too! Make sure to add some calming essentials oils like lavender or rosemary, add a face mask, and you are good to go!

Sugar Scrub Recipe

All you need is sugar, coconut oil, and essential oils of your choice.

  1. 1 Cup Coconut Oil

  2. 1/2 Sugar (organic/raw cane sugar or brown sugar works fine here)

  3. 1/8 Teaspoon of your favorite essential oil

Just mix it all together and throw it in a jar!

*Please note that if you plan to use this scrub on your face, lower the amount of essential oil, and scrub VERY gently*
