DIY Shea Sugar Scrub: Natural Glow in a Jar

If you’re looking to pamper your skin with a simple, natural, and luxurious exfoliant, look no further—this Shea Sugar Scrub is the perfect homemade treat. Made with nourishing shea butter, exfoliating sugar, and skin-loving oils, it leaves your skin smooth, hydrated, and radiant. Whether you're a skincare enthusiast or a beginner in the DIY world, this recipe is incredibly easy and fully customizable.

🌿 Ingredients:

  • ½ cup raw shea butter
  • ¼ cup coconut oil (or almond oil)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (white or brown sugar)
  • 1 tsp vitamin E oil (optional, for added skin benefits)
  • 10–15 drops of essential oil (lavender, peppermint, or citrus work beautifully)

🧴 Instructions:

  1. Melt the shea butter and coconut oil together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir until fully combined.
  2. Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the sugar. You want it to be warm, not hot, to preserve the texture of the sugar.
  3. Add the vitamin E oil and essential oils. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Pour into a clean, dry jar with a lid.
  5. Let it set for a few hours or overnight at room temperature.

✅ How to Use:

Scoop a small amount of the scrub into your hands and gently massage it onto damp skin using circular motions. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Use 2–3 times a week for best results.

💡 Tips:

  • You can swap sugar for fine pink Himalayan salt for a salt-based version.
  • Store in a cool, dry place and use within 3 months.
  • Add dried rose petals or coffee grounds for a fun twist!
