Two Methods:Making the ScrubUsing the Scrub

Brown sugar is softer than white sugar, and smooths the skin more than salt. The tub or shower may be slippery with sugar granules falling on the ceramic or tiles, so be careful.



  • Brown sugar
  • Fragrance
  • Olive oil

Method 1 of 2: Making the Scrub

  1. 1
    Mix ingredients in a bowl.
  2. 2
    Make sure fragrance is skin tolerant. Mix fragrances to make an appealing combination.
  3. 3
    This can be stored in an 8-ounce plastic container with a screw top lid.

Method 2 of 2: Using the Scrub

  1. 1
    While in the shower, stir the mixture. The oil will rise to the top.
  2. 2
    Use a small handful on legs, arms, feet, belly, face, and back. Although the sugar scrub may seem very oily, it is very good for you face. With sugar it really gets deep into you pores and removes excess dirt and blemishes.
  3. 3
    Rinse off with warm water.



  • Be careful, your tub could be slippery after rinsing.
  • If using citrus essential oils, be careful in the sun as the skin is more prone to burning with citrus oils. Do not go out into the sun for several hours after applying; best used at night.

Things You'll Need

  1. 1 cup brown sugar
  2. 1/2 cup oil (virgin coconut or olive)
  3. 10-15 drops fragrance made for skin usage or safe essential oils like Lavender or Jasmine.
