This homemade DIY Vanilla Rose Sugar Scrub recipe is super simple to make and perfect for gift giving on Valentine's Day, Mother's Day or as Bridal shower favors! Made with simple all natural ingredients and essential oils, to help moisturize your dry skin.

This whipped homemade sugar scrub is easy to make, and a soft, fluffy version of a regular sugar scrub. The scents of vanilla and rose combine to make the most wonderful aroma.

Perfect for exfoliating winter dry skin, this natural body scrub is made using sugar which is a natural exfoliator with coconut oil, then scented with rose oil and vanilla oil, with a touch of pink mica powder for color. It is made with simple ingredients and natural ingredients.

We recommend rubbing this homemade body scrub on your skin in circular motion, to help remove dead skin cells for smoother and silky soft skin and then rinse with warm water. If you plan on gifting it, a great idea would be pairing it with our lovely Rose Heart Bath Bombs made with rose petals!

This simple sugar scrub recipe makes the perfect homemade gift, or even better, make several homemade bath products and put them all together in a gift basket!

CUSTOMIZE YOUR SUGAR SCRUB RECIPE WITH DIFFERENT VARIATIONS!

Once you make this easy sugar scrub recipe, you may want to try and mix up the recipe a bit with slightly different ingredients to make your own DIY sugar scrubs! The best part is you can have fun with it and make your own sugar scrub creation!

  • add 1-2 teaspoons vanilla bean seeds to the sugar scrub mixture for extra exfoliation to get rid of all those dead cells from your dry skin!
  • Add 1-2 teaspoons of red jojoba beads as a great addition for extra exfoliation and a fun look too!
  • use brown sugar instead of white sugar for something a little different
  • add rose buds or rose petals for a special touch
  • instead of whipping the mixture, gently pack the denser scrub into a small soap mold or ice cube tray for a great way to make sugar scrub cubes
  • use a different type of oil or combination of carrier oils such as shea butter, vitamin e oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil or sweet almond oil or a mix of several of these, instead of regular coconut oil for different moisturizing options or whatever is your personal preference
  • add different essential oils in place of the rose or vanilla essential oils for completely different scent ie: sweet orange oil or lemon oil for an orange or lemon sugar scrub or lavender essential oil for a lavender sugar scrub! Mixing lavender and vanilla together to make a lavender vanilla sugar scrub recipe would be awesome also!
