BODY SCRUB vs SUGAR SCRUB

SUGAR SCRUBS

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.

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.

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.

Just a few ingredients needed

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use a whipped sugar scrub on my face? This whipped sugar scrub is made with granulated sugar, which is finely ground sugar. It can be more abrasive than what facial skin needs. The skin on your face is very delicate. So it’s a better idea to use a scrub that contains brown sugar on the face.

Can all skin types use whipped sugar scrub? It’s possible, whipped sugar scrubs are generally suitable for most skin types. However, people with sensitive skin should opt for finer scrubs with finer sugar particles to avoid over-exfoliation.

How should I store whipped sugar scrub? Store your whipped sugar scrub in a cool, dry place. Keep it away from direct sunlight and water in a tightly sealed container.

More Questions People Ask About This Sugar Scrub Recipe

How often should I use a whipped sugar scrub? It’s recommended to use a whipped sugar scrub 2 to 3 times a week. However, this can vary depending on skin type. I recommend using it less frequently if you have sensitive skin.

How long will whipped sugar scrub last without a preservative? The shelf life of a whipped sugar scrub without a preservative can vary. Varying factors include the ingredients used, the storage conditions, and the level of exposure to water.

If water and moisture are kept out for the sugar scrub, it can last 3 to 6 months.

Do I need to use a preservative? If you do not add a preservative it’s important to keep the scrub away from water and moisture. Basically, USE A SCOOPER to scoop out a generous amount of body scrub from the jar to take into the shower with you.
