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:
- Melt the shea butter and coconut oil together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir until fully combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the sugar. You want it to be warm, not hot, to preserve the texture of the sugar.
- Add the vitamin E oil and essential oils. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour into a clean, dry jar with a lid.
- 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!
