Fall is upon us, so keep your skin looking GREAT with this DIY Fall sugar scrub with essential oils.
Sugar scrubs are the perfect way to exfoliate and cleanse your skin naturally because sugar crystals are not harsh or abrasive to your skin…and using these spicy scents will make you feel ready for Fall!
Fall Sugar Scrub with Essential Oils
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup white sugar (you can also use brown sugar or sea salt- sea salt will be a little more abrasive to your skin)
- 1/2 cup Fractionated Coconut Oil (you could also use almond oil, grapeseed oil, or olive oil).
- 4 drops Cassia essential oil
- 4 drops Clove essential oil
- 2-4 drops Ginger essential oil
Directions:
Step 1. Combine the sugar and Fractionated Coconut Oil into a mixing bowl.
Step 2. Add desired essential oils
Step 3. Stir the mixture until it is the consistency of a slushy (you may need to add more sugar or Fractionated Coconut Oil for desired consistency).
If you want to add color to your mixture, do so now (I use natural, skin-safe, food coloring). For separate colors, divide the sugar scrub into bowls depending on how many colors you want to create. If you want three colors, divide into three bowls. Color as desired and carefully pour on top of each layer.
Step 4. Store mixture in an air-tight container.
You’re done! You can use 1-2 times a week on hands, feet, legs, or arms.

Hello!
Well, this scrub looks like great fun! Can you please tell me what you used for coloring in the orange and yellow? I didn’t see that in the recipe and a curious as to what you used…food dye would dye the hands and body, so what do you suggest here?
Much thanks!!
Angela
Sarah Titus says
Great question. I use natural, skin-safe, food coloring that I get in the organics section of my local store. 🙂
Angela says
Thanks Sarah, I will give it a whirl!!
Sincerely Jacqueline says
I can’t wait to try this! SO AMAZING that this is all natural right down to the coloring. Sarah, what would I do without you?
Sarah Titus says
Haha! You are funny Jacqueline. Glad you like it. <3 🙂
Brittany says
Wow this looks like it smells great. I’m curious is a sugar scrub just for your face or can you wash with it in the shower?
Sarah Titus says
Either one would be fine. 🙂
Cynthia A Coyle says
HI please tell me how this is used. Wouldn’t it be sticky? Do you use in shower/bathtub then rinse off?
I have seen these for a while now and have always wanted to ask.
Sarah Titus says
You can use it in the shower if you want, or just put it on like a mask, leave it for a few minutes, then rinse off. It’s great for elbows, etc. 🙂
