Know What's Inside Your Sugar Scrub

I read labels for ingredients that are inside of sugar scrubs, and any type of product that I use. I have to be careful because I have very sensitive skin, and I'm also allergic to certain types of red and yellow food colors. So I have to be very careful of everything I put on my skin.

The first thing I'm on the lookout for are the types of perfumes that might be used in the sugar scrub product. That's why I always stick to therapeutic grade essential oils. I don't have to worry about the oils being chemically processed with an introduction of an alcohol of any sorts that might irritate my skin.

Now, you might notice that there's a slight green hue to my lemon-lime sugar scrub, and that's because there is. I used a natural green food coloring to it. I did because it's just a lot of fun to see a little bit of color, and knowing that it's not going to stain my skin.

The sugar scrub recipe is super easy, so let's get start with the things you are going to need for this:

Ingredients for sugar scrub:

Directions for sugar scrub:

  1.  Add all of the ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Mix well to incorporate the sugar and oils. Adjust the consistency to your personal liking – add more oil if it's too dry and add more sugar if it's too wet.
  2. Transfer to an airtight container and store up to 3 months.

How to use sugar scrub:

1.   Wet skin and apply the lemon lime sugar body scrub generously in the shower.

2.   Massage the scrub in a circular motion gently into your skin.  Enjoy the energizing scents of lemon and lime as the sugar exfoliates and the coconut oil & vitamin e moisturizes.
(This is a great morning scrub, as the lemon and lime essential oils are great for awakening and rejuvenating the senses).

3.   Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a towel.

4.   Apply your favorite body lotion or cream to seal the moisture in your skin.
