A simple sugar scrub gently exfoliates your skin, rubbing away dead skin cells so new ones can replace them. Making your own sugar scrubs is a fairly simple process, and you don't need any chemicals to do it. Though some commercially available sugar scrubs use chemicals to lengthen a product's shelf life, you can whip up a simple sugar scrub with a few basic ingredients.
Most sugar scrubs are made up of equal parts sugar and some kind of oily substance. The oil in question might be glycerin, olive oil, sweet almond oil or avocado oil. The oil has a moisturizing effect on your skin, which soothes while the sugar exfoliates.
Essential oils are added to sugar scrubs to improve their fragrance. different essential oils produce different effects. combining several drops of geranium, lavender, sandalwood and lemon essential oils for a calming sugar scrub or adding several drops of rosemary, ginger, bay and peppermint essential oils for an invigorating sugar scrub.
