Sugar scrubs are great for your skin for a number of reasons. They inhibit the growth of bacteria, help get rid of dead skin cells, give you a healthy glow, stimulate your immune system, draws our impurities, and heightens your mood.
With all of these wonderful benefits, it’s a wonder why everyone isn’t using them. Today we are going to provide you with a list of 5 sugar scrub recipes, that you can make on your own at home.
Sugar Scrub Recipes
For all of the following recipes, you will need a glass bowl, a wooden spoon and a container for storage purposes. Glass jars are preferred, but plastic containers work just as well.
All recipes follow these basic instructions:
- Measure dry ingredients bowl and mix well.
- If honey is involved in your recipe, drizzle it over the dry ingredients and mix again.
