5 DIY Brown Sugar Scrub Recipes

Brown sugar scrubs are simple to make and are fantastic for your skin. Brown sugar is naturally anti-bacterial and contains a small amount of alpha-hydroxy acid. This natural acid helps exfoliation and brightens the skin.

Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • Resealable Container (optional)

This simple 3 ingredient recipe is one of the easiest to make! You can sub out coconut oil with olive or sweet almond if you wish. If you use coconut oil, this mixture may solidify a little since coconut oil turns hard when the temperature is less than 76 degrees.

You can make this recipe as a one time use batch or you can store it in a resealable container. If you store this well it can last you a while. Just make sure not to let any water in with the scrub base. Keeping water out of your sugar scrubs will extend their shelf life.

Honey Almond Brown Sugar Scrub

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp. Organic Honey
  • 1 oz. Sweet Almond Oil
  • Essential Oils(optional)

Sounds delicious right? This simple brown sugar recipe is another easy DIY project. All you need is brown sugar, honey, and sweet almond oil. If you don't have sweet almond oil, you can swap that out for coconut, olive, or whatever oil you have on hand!

This recipe is great for those with sensitive skin. Each of the 3 ingredients are very mild and soothing. Feel free to make substitutions as needed. Ingredients for sugar scrubs are very flexible.

Brown Sugar and Lemon Scrub

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Lemon
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp. Honey

This recipe is super charged with lemon! Lemon has antibacterial and antifungal porperties. It's great for acne. Take your lemon and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix well. If the batch seems a little runny just add more brown sugar. We're going for a nice thick paste like consistency.

This scrub is great for facial applications. You can apply the scrub to your skin and let sit for 10 minutes, or you can use it as an exfoliating wash.

Brown Sugar Moisturizing Scrub

  • 3 lbs. Brown Sugar
  • 5 oz. Soap Guy Body Butter (any thick lotion should work)
  • Fragrance (optional)

This super simple recipe lets the natural benefits of brown sugar do the heavy lifting. Adding a complete lotion instead of oils gives this batch a much better consistency. It also wont separate over time like other scrub recipes.

Our body butter is a top notch moisturizer that we spent years perfecting. You can sub out your favorite lotion instead but you may have to adjust the amount you put in depending on the thickness of the lotion. This recipe is also one of the ones that will last you the longest. The body butter/lotion you put in there will have preservative to keep it from going off. Brown sugar itself is a natural preservative as well. As long as you keep water out of the contianer, this recipe should last you months!

Extra Scrubby Brown Sugar Scrub

  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Old Fashiponed Oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup Raw Honey

Adjust the batch as you see fit, this one has a lot of flexibility.
