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!
