Notes
Optional Ingredients
While these are not necessary, they are a great way to customize your sugar scrub.
- body wash (up to 2 tablespoons), this will make your sugar scrub have a lovely soft texture, and help clean your skin while it exfoliates
- essential oils (5-10 drops) - there are all kinds of great reasons to using essential oils in your bath and beauty products and the precise benefits depend on the type of oil you choose
- vitamin E oil (approximately ½ teaspoon) - while it helps to moisturize your skin, vitamin E is known to make skin look and feel healthy, so it's a great addition to body scrubs
- Shea butter (up to ¼ cup) - tones and soothes skin with anti-inflammatory properties, fatty acids and vitamins.
- Mica powder (no more than ⅛ teaspoon) - this is purely for looks. Adding mica powder - a natural stone mineral - makes your sugar scrub look lovely, but it's not a necessity. If you choose to use it, look for a cosmetic grade. You can find mica powder online.
