It’s graduation season around here, and there’s always a reason to bless someone we love with a fun little gift, right? However, this time of year can get expensive with so many things going on. The end-of-the-year field trips, parties, graduations and other events add up quickly! So, I enjoy finding unique and inexpensive items to bless people with and sugar scrubs are one of my favorites!
Why Sugar Scrubs Are Great for Skin
Sugar scrubs are excellent for our skin. Most of us only think of exfoliating our faces if we’re on a skincare regimen, but you can also exfoliate the rest of your skin. Sugar scrubs use little crystals to sluff off old skin cells, clean our pores and prevent breakouts and ingrown hairs. All while leaving your skin soft and smooth. It sounds like a fair trade and something easy for all of us to incorporate into our weekly routine!
Benefits of Gifting Sugar Scrubs
Gifting little sugar scrubs with essential oils is thoughtful and won’t break the bank. Also, sugar scrubs use minimal ingredients, which is beneficial if you're trying to live a more natural lifestyle like me. And we all know that essential oils have endless benefits for our bodies - another win!
Essential Oil Sugar Scrub Recipes
I found some amazing DIY sugar scrub recipes from Natural Living Family that are simple to make and allow for endless combinations using essential oils. These scrubs are super customizable, so feel free to add your favorite essential oil scent and enjoy its unique benefits!
Once you’ve made the sugar scrub, put it in a cute jar, add a ribbon and you have a lovely, thoughtful gift that anyone would love to receive.
Simple Sugar Scrub Recipe:
1 cup sugar
½ cup coconut oil (or olive oil)
10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil
Mix together, put in a jar, and it’s ready to gift or use!
Why Sugar Scrubs Make the Perfect Gift
Sugar scrubs are a great, cost-effective way to create a personalized gift that feels special. The endless combinations of essential oils allow you to create a scrub that is as unique as the person you’re gifting it to.
Until next time,
