Sugar scrubs are so simple to make, yet feel like a little self-care luxury. Mixing up a batch only takes about five minutes of your time. But, the benefits of making your own beauty products and knowing exactly what is in them is worth the little bit of effort.
While white sugar isn’t great in your body, it’s a wonderful ingredient to use on your body. Sugar is a gentle exfoliant for your skin and works beautifully in a sugar scrub to help soften and leave your skin feeling silky smooth.
I love the refreshing and happy smell of grapefruit. Citrus scents are energizing and mood boosting. This pink grapefruit sugar scrub is perfect for your morning shower to wake you up and start your day off right with a little pampering.
