I am a big big fan of body scrubs! Something about getting rid of dead skin cells and having baby smooth skin makes me really happy! There are tons of body scrubs to choose from out there but I prefer to make my own. I have found that a lot of the body scrubs I get at the store leave a film on my body and I absolutely hate it! Plus you can whip up a body scrub with everyday items and leave the toxic body scrubs at the store!
I typically use a body scrub once a week. I love to use it before I shave my legs to get a way better shave. I also like to use it after a day of playing outside when it just feels so good to relax in a bath and scrub away all dirt and grime that is on my body!
There are a few body scrubs that are my go to’s. I thought I would share them with you today so you can make your own as well! While there are tons on Pinterest to look at, these are the ones that I go back to time and time again! I’ve also created a quick DIY tutorial for each body scrub as well!
Coffee Scrub
One of my all time favorite scrubs! This coffee scrub is easy to make and in my opinion works the best! For this scrub you will need:
- 1/2 cup of brewed coffee grounds
- 2 tbsp sweet almond oil
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- couple drops vitamin E oil
All you have to do is mix it all together and you’ve got your coffee scrub! This one will not last long so make sure you use it once you have made it!
Oat Sugar Scrub
This scrub has a couple more steps to it but definitely a good one! I really like to use this one as a hand scrub since it has jojoba oil in it and nourishes while it exfoliates! For this one you will need:
- 1/2 cup of old fashion oats
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tbsp of honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tbsp jojoba oil
To make this scrub you will:
- Grind up oats in a food processor or a blender
- Melt the coconut oil. To do this, I place the coconut oil in a glass jar and then place that glass jar into a pan of hot water.
- Mix all ingredients together
Lemon Sugar Scrub
When you are in the middle of summer and you want something refreshing, this scrub is it! This one is super simple and you probably already have everything in your house for it! You will need:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 lemon
- 2 1/2 tbsp of honey
Here are the steps for this scrub:
- Zest the lemon
- Cut lemon in half and squeeze out as much juice
- Add all ingredients together. Add sugar in last and slowly until scrub is the consistency you desire
Peppermint Scrub
My peppermint scrub smells so amazing and is perfect for a foot scrub! Once again it’s super simple to make! For this scrub you will need:
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of coconut oil
- 5 drops peppermint oil
The steps for this scrub are simple. They are:
- Melt the coconut oil. To do this, I place the coconut oil in a glass jar and then place that glass jar into a pan of hot water.
- Mix sugar and coconut oil together. Add more or less sugar to desired consistency.
- Add in peppermint essential oil. You can add however many drops you desire.
Himalayan Pink Salt Scrub
This is one of my favorite scrubs! This is also probably the prettiest scrub out of all of them since it’s pink. Perfect if you want to give it as a gift! For this scrub you will need:
- 1/2 cup Himalayan pink salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- lavender essential oil
To make this scrub you will need to:
- Melt the coconut oil. To do this, I place the coconut oil in a glass jar and then place that glass jar into a pan of hot water.
- Mix in the Himalayan pink salt to get the consistency you desire
- Add the lavender essential oil (I use about five drops)
And there you have it! My absolute favorite body scrubs! A couple things to note, these scrubs will not last forever since they are made from natural products. Also, make sure to alway moisturize after exfoliating! Your skin will thank me! Drop your favorite scrubs below in the comments!
