This winter has been so brutal on my skin. I normally have dry skin throughout the year but it gets really bad during the winter. One thing that really helps it is exfoliating. So, with that in mind I decided to make up some sugar scrubs and free labels to have on hand for myself as well as for a gift if needed. I just used some on my hands and they look and feel so much better. I found that I got the best results by following up the scrub with my favorite cleander (to get any external remaining oils off my skin) and then moisturizing. These make the perfect gifts. I got my jars at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each and they were perfect.

Supplies:
Jar
1/2 C of Olive Oil
1 C of Sugar
Few drops of fragrance
Food coloring (optional)

In a bowl I mixed all the ingredients and then added 1 drop of food coloring. Next I put it in my jar and dressed it up with a little bit of raffia and a tag. The scent I used on this one is Green Apple so I used green food coloring.

My printer needs ink so I didn’t put labels on my jars yet but I wanted to share the labels with you anyhow. I made 6 different colors. Each label is approximately 3 inches. Enjoy!

  1. THANKS SO MUCH! I’ve been looking around for a recipe for this stuff and hope to try this out. I’m a big fan of Origins Incredible Spreadable Scrub in ginger. Like a spa in the shower. Did you use essential oils for fragrance?

  2. Sabrina, I didn’t use essential oils (i’m too cheap! lol). I just picked up some fragrance in Hobby Lobby in the soap-making area. The bottle said good for Sugar Scrub (among other things) so I bought it. Seems to have worked great. šŸ™‚

  3. Cute little jar! I do the same thing with sugar and olive oil šŸ™‚ My eczema LOVES it. The shower floor…not so much.

  4. This is such a great recipe! I wonder -could you use less EVOO and use essential oils instead? :o)

  5. I made some scrub this winter too. The candy cane sugar scrub recipe is on my blog if you’re interested. šŸ™‚

  6. I have super dry hands in the winter (two diaper wearing toddlers means washing hands every 10 minutes), so I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for such a great idea!

  7. Didn’t know I could make my own…

    This is my first time trying to make a scrub, for the fragrance, is this scented oil in the flavor I am trying to make? And where can I purchase the oils? Thanks so much for your help.

    p.s. I wish you all a Merry Christmas!!

    1. Hi Sherry! I just used regular olive oil from the supermarket. I bought my scents from Hobby Lobby. I found them in the aisles where they sell soap molds, etc. So, since the fragrance I used was green apple, I used green food coloring. Once you have the oil and sugar mixed up, you can add a few drops of whatever scent you want. Then from there you would add food coloring if you want it to be a certain color. Hope this helps. šŸ™‚
