I have been wanting to make some homemade sugar scrub since I ran out of mine a few weeks ago. I saw how easy it was to make and heard that it was so much cheaper than buying it at the store. I am not a huge fan of lavender and wanted something that would smell good. When I got the opportunity to review Lift Care Lemon Essential Oil, I wanted to give it a try.
Disclosure: I received a bottle of Lift Care Lemon Essential oil so that I could facilitate this post. All opinions are 100% my own. This post may contain affiliate links.
I love the clean citrus smell and I am super excited to find other things that I can make with the lemon oil. I am a newbie to essential oils so I am still learning about their health benefits. Today, I am going to share with you how to make your on DIY sugar scrub.
Ingredients Needed
- Coconut or Olive Oil
- Sugar
- Essential Oil
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Plastic container or Mason Jar
- Food coloring (optional)
Directions
- Measure 1/4 cup of coconut or olive oil and pour into a bowl.
- Then add 1/2 a cup of granulated sugar or brown sugar.
- Then add 10 to 15 drops of essential oil depending on which oil that you use. I added 15 drops to my batch.
- Add several drops of food coloring. (optional)
- Mix all of the ingredients together.
- Then spoon it into an air tight plastic container or mason jar.
- Add a label and enjoy.
After I made this recipe, I used it that night in the bathtub. It felt great and made my skin super soft. I personally used coconut oil in my recipe but you don’t have too. It did give it a slight coconut scent in addition to the lemon. I adapted my recipe from Wellness Mama.

I bet that smells soooo good. I definitely want to try this because I use sugar scrubs all the time.
That sounds wonderful. I’m sure it smells amazing, and citrus is so good for your pores.
I have been wanting to make some sugar scrubs! I just need to buy a bag of sugar lol. This one probably smells really good!
Mmm! I bet that smells amazing. I’m a huge fan of lemon, but I think if I made a scrub I’d mix in a few more scents…then again that’s probably why I haven’t… it’d turn out smelling weird lol
I want to make this. I just purchased a bottle of lemon oil last week.
Oh, this scrub seems so delicious. I love lemon! I cannot wait to try this!
That must have smelled so good while you are making it. I don’t really use scrubs but it’s a great idea to make your own.
My daughter loves scrubs like this. I will definitely pass this on to her. It seems right up her alley!
I have a real sweet tooth, I would love to try this lemon sugar scrub. It sounds super delicious, I am going to try it out this weekend if possible.
That does sound like a really nice scrub and I’d thoroughly enjoy that scent. I haven’t used a scrub in a long time!
That looks so easy to do! I have always wanted to create my own scrub but never can find the time.
I love sugar scrubs but have not tried making my own. A lemon scrub would be a perfect scent.
Making body scrubs is one of my favorite DIY beauty recipes. I have never tried making one with lemon essential oil before, though. Maybe next time!
Omg this lemon scrub sounds pretty fabulous! And the best part is I actually have everything to make some.
I’ve been wanting to try essential oils but not sure which one to try first. I might just try this one since you have a recipe to start with.
I love your scrub! You really know what goes well! It even sounds tasty! I love to use products that are almost great just to eat, and so natural!
I would like to try peppermint or lemon, maybe even lavender. I haven’t tried any essential oils yet. A scrub would be a good way to do it.
I have started to make more of my own products, especially with my husband developing his own line. I love this. Super simple to do.
This is pretty neat. I love the smell of lemon and a good facial scrub. Thanks
I am obsessed with making my own sugar scrubs. I like peppermint and citrus scents the best.
