A homemade sugar scrub is a simple, natural way to exfoliate and nourish your skin using ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. Typically made with granulated sugar, which gently removes dead skin cells, and a moisturizing agent like coconut oil, olive oil, or honey, this DIY beauty treatment leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth, and refreshed. You can customize your scrub with essential oils for fragrance or add-ins like coffee grounds or lemon zest for extra benefits. Not only is it cost-effective, but making your own sugar scrub also ensures you’re avoiding harsh chemicals found in many commercial products. It’s perfect for a self-care routine or as a thoughtful, handmade gift.
