BODY SCRUB vs SUGAR SCRUB

SUGAR SCRUBS

The words body scrub and sugar scrub seem to be used interchangeably. So, is there really a difference between the two? A sugar scrub is a type of body scrub that specifically uses sugar granules for exfoliation. Sugar offers a gentle and effective way to remove dead skin cells.

BODY SCRUBS

Body scrubs in general use a broader category of exfoliating products to help remove dead skin. Other exfoliants include cranberry seeds, poppy seeds, walnut seeds, and jojoba beads just to name a few.

BENEFITS OF A DIY WHIPPED SUGAR SCRUB

The main purpose of a sugar scrub is to EXFOLIATE THE SKIN. The sugar helps to gently remove dead skin cells, unveiling smoother and brighter skin.
You control the ingredients that go into making your sugar scrub, so it can be as natural as possible. You can choose the most natural and organic products to use.
Whipped sugar scrubs usually contain natural butter and oil like shea butter and almond oil, making them very moisturizing for the skin.
Adding essential oils to sugar scrubs offers aromatherapy benefits. Choosing essential oils that promote relaxation and promote physical and mental health is key.
Whipping this sugar scrub adds air and lightness, making it easy to massage onto the skin. This enhances the overall sensory experience.
Making your own DIY skincare and body scrubs can prove to be cost-effective. Also, many DIY INGREDIENTS required for sugar scrubs are readily available and can be used in multiple batches.
Making whipped sugar scrub can be fun and relaxing. It can even offer a sense of accomplishment, especially if you make it, customize it and it turns out more amazing than you ever imagined!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS BODY SCRUB RECIPE

Tools you’ll need

Here are some of the things you will need to make this Whipped Body Sugar Scrub.

BODY SCRUB RECIPE INGREDIENTS & THEIR BENEFITS

MANGO BUTTER

You have probably heard of shea butter, but have you ever heard of mango butter? MANGO BUTTER comes from the mango fruit seed. It’s made by extracting its contents from its seed. The contents are then cold pressed to make the actual mango butter.

Similar to shea butter, MANGO BUTTER is a solid butter that melts on contact with the skin. Can you tell I like SHEA BUTTER as much as I like mango butter? They both have many similarities.

COCONUT OIL

Coconut is a natural oil derived from the meat of mature coconuts. If you are looking for an oil that has amazing moisturizing and nourishing benefits, this is it. It also offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal benefits.

Organic, virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil is my oil of choice. This type of oil retains more of its natural beneficial properties compared to refined or processed coconut oil.

AVOCADO OIL

Avocado oil is another natural oil that will make your DIY skincare products amazing. This natural oil is derived from the flesh of avocados. Yes, the same creamy, green fruits that we make avocado toast from.

It has so many benefits including being great for both skincare and haircare DIYs. It has vitamins A, C, and E and is rich in fatty acids. Additionally, AVOCADO OIL can be used as a natural makeup remover, whilst still moisturizing the skin.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE HOMEMADE SUGAR SCRUB

1: Gather all of the essential measuring tools, mixing bowls, and a sugar scrub container.

2: Using a digital scale, measure 4 ounces of mango butter, 1 ounce of coconut oil, and 1 ounce of avocado oil. Now, place all of the ingredients together in a heat-safe bowl.

3: Prepare a water bath over low heat and sit the heat-safe bowl from Step 2 into the water bath. Allow all of the ingredients to melt.

Handy tip!

Instead of placing the mixture in the freezer for 5 mins, you can also place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or longer until it firms up. NOTE: If the mixture doesn’t get firm enough, it will turn back to liquid instead of becoming fluffy. If this happens place the mixture back in the freezer or refrigerator and let it firm up a bit more.

4: Remove the ingredients from the heat source, once they are melted. Then place the mixture in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to let the mixture get firm. This is the COOL DOWN METHOD. Check out THIS VIDEO to see how it’s done.

5: Now that the mixture is firm, use a hand mixer with a wire whisk to break up the firm mixture. As you as whisking you should notice that the mixture starts to turn white and get fluffy. This could take 10 to 15 minutes of whisking (depending on the speed of your mixer).

6: The mixture should now appear like whipped frosting, if not keep whipping it up until it appears fluffy. Add the sugar to the mixture.

7: If you choose to add fragrance or essential oil, stir it in the mixture now.

8: Now add the germall plus preservative to the mixture and stir.

9: Transfer the mixture to a container of your choice and ENJOY your new body scrub.
