DIY Body Scrub (Apple Pie)

Posted on by Lyn

This DIY body scrub is a wonderful smelling apple pie sugar scrub! Like the pumpkin spice sugar scrub, this recipe is another wonderful smelling fall sugar scrub recipe! An apple pie fragrance typically provides you with a wonderful combination of cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and sometimes cardamom. So, there is no wondering why apple pie and apple spice are popular favorites in the kitchen as well as in the skin care and fragrance industry during the fall season.

If you like the warm cozy smell of apple pie or apple spice in the fall, you may also like the:

Ingredients 

This apple pie scented DIY body scrub is prepared with a combination of sugar, soap, oil, fragrance, and colorant.

1. Sugar

The main ingredient for this sugar scrub recipe is granulated white sugar. Sugar is the perfect ingredient for a body scrub because it can help reveal your natural glow. It exfoliates the skin gently removing dead skin cells while quickly dissolving in water. In this way, it can make your skin feel good without over-exfoliating.

2. Soap

A kind of creamy whipped soap is the next main ingredient for this DIY body scrub recipe. While sugar makes a great exfoliant, on its own, it does not naturally stick to the skin well. This type of soap can moisturize and clean the skin while helping the sugar stick to the skin while exfoliating. This creamy whipped soap can be whipped with a blender for an extra creamy texture. However, in my experience, it works just as well without it being whipped.

3. Oil

A skin nourishing almond oil is one of my favorite oils to use in the DIY body scrub recipes. It provides the perfect oil consistency for a body scrub since it is not extremely thin nor extremely thick and oily. Then too, almond oil provides the skin with beneficial vitamins and minerals that can keep your skin looking good.

4. Fragrance 

An apple pie fragrance oil made for use on the skin is added to this body scrub to give this fall sugar scrub recipe its wonder apple pie aroma. After you have scrubbed away the dry skin cells and added a thin layer of moisturizing oil, you can leave your skin smelling like apple pie.

5. Colorant 

With a pretty pink color, you can take in some soothing color therapy while gently scrubbing the skin. The pink color is created with a food safe powdered red food coloring. 

In Summary

You can find additional delightful DIY body scrub recipes to prepare after making this one. There are also homemade melt and pour soap recipes that you can make with the same fragrance oil to go along with your body scrub. That is all for now! Have fun making and using this yummy smelling apple pie DIY body scrub recipe.

DIY Body Scrub (Lavender)

Posted on by Lyn

Since dry skin weather is just around the corner and the portable camping shower review is done, I thought it would be a good time to share a couple of creamy, moisturizing fall scented DIY body scrub recipes. Lavender is not exactly a fall fragrance. However, it is a delightful smelling fragrance that many people use all year long. Thus far, there are delightful smelling summer scented DIY body scrub recipes including cucumber melon, mango, and pink lemonade. Since it is not fall yet, this lavender body scrub is being added before the upcoming fall scented DIY pumpkin spice body scrub and the DIY apple pie body scrub.

DIY Lavender Body Scrub Recipe

DIY Body Scrub

Ingredients

This DIY lavender body scrub is prepared with sugar, creamy soap, oil, essential oil, and coloring.

1. Sugar

Sugar scrubs are one of the most popular kinds of body scrubs. It is a popular choice because granulated sugar is only mildly abrasive and dissolves quickly when wet. Ground lavender buds are another excellent option for this particular DIY body scrub! After you grind the lavender buds in a small food processor, they too are a mildly abrasive scrub. However, it does not dissolve. Therefore, you can get a thorough body scrub with the addition of ground lavender buds. The ground lavender buds can be used in the DIY lavender soap as well.

2. Creamy Soap

The foaming body butter is a creamy soap. Therefore, this DIY body scrub actually adheres to the skin while you are exfoliating. So, there are no clumps of body scrub wasted in the shower.

3. Almond Oil

Almond oil is a perfect oil for body scrubs. It is not too thick or too thin. So, it can leave your skin moisturized without leaving a sticky feeling residue on the skin.

4. Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender is a therapeutic essential oil. It is a single oil with synergistic properties. When used on the skin, you are giving yourself an aromatherapy treatment that happens to be really good for the skin as well. The smell of lavender essential oil is calming to the nerves and uplifting to the mood. It is a popular essential oil used in adult and baby skin care products because it can calm the mind and body to help promote sleep. With antibacterial and antifungal properties that do not clog the pores, lavender essential oil is also excellent for the skin.

5. Colorant

A powdered purple food colorant is added to give this lavender DIY body scrub its color. The colorant is also therapeutic.

Cucumber Melon DIY Body Scrub!

Posted on by Lyn

This whipped DIY Body Scrub is the perfect color for a DIY cucumber melon sugar scrub recipe. As a whipped sugar scrub, this DIY body scrub goes on smooth and sticks to the skin while you are exfoliating. It is comparatively more moisturizing and hydrating than some other sugar scrubs. This DIY body scrub recipe left my skin noticeably smoother with a nice glow after the first use. So, it moisturizes the skin well while it is gently exfoliating.

diy body scrub

Ingredients

When you are ready for your next at home spa day, you can prepare the cucumber melon DIY body scrub recipe with foaming bath butter, sugar, oil, fragrance, and coloring.

1. Foaming Bath Butter

The foaming bath butter is a game changer. It creates a creamy environment for the body scrub to do its job while protecting and cleaning the skin. The foaming bath butter can be whipped to create a luscious creamy foaming DIY body scrub.

2. Granulated Sugar

DIY sugar scrub recipes are very popular for a reason. First of all, sugar is a humectant. Therefore, it attracts moisture from the air into the skin. Secondly, it dissolves easily. So, it is gentle enough to be used on the skin and can reduce the risk of over-exfoliating the skin. With the foaming bath butter, this DIY body scrub recipe can be an effective moisturizing exfoliator.

3. Moisturizing Oil

The foaming body butter is a moisturizing soap. However, for a luscious, whipped DIY body scrub, an additional moisturizing oil is incorporated. A skin nourishing almond oil is added to this particular DIY body scrub recipe. With this addition, the skin will be noticeably softer and smoother.

4. Fragrance

The color of this DIY body scrub goes well with cucumber melon, green apple, kiwi strawberry, kiwi watermelon, or fresh cut grass fragrance oil. You can basically use any skin safe fragrance oil with a fragrance that you like. In fact, the DIY body scrub shown was made with a really clean-smelling pikake flower fragrance oil.

5. Color

A simple primary green food coloring powder is used to color this DIY body scrub. Once mixed with the whipped white scrub, it becomes a pretty light green color. You can get a single green powdered food colorant or a powdered food coloring set. At the time of this post, the set of powdered food colorants is a much better deal. However, the green is the exact colorant used to make this DIY body scrub.

It is like having a little spa day at home. However, the main purpose of a body scrub is to exfoliate, moisturize, and clean the skin. A DIY mango body scrub recipe is a really nice way to do so!

diy body scrub

Ingredients

A mango DIY body scrub recipe can be prepared with foaming bath butter, sugar, oil, fragrance, and coloring. In this way, you are ready for your next at home spa day.

1. Foaming Bath Butter

The foaming bath butter is used to gently remove the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. It is a thick and creamy moisturizing soap that can be whipped into creamy goodness. As the foaming bath butter expands, it feels even nicer when it is rubbed on the skin. So, the foaming bath butter provides the ideal environment for the sugar to be added and used to gently exfoliate the skin.

2. Granulated Sugar

DIY sugar scrub recipes are very popular. Sugar is a humectant, and it is gentle enough to be used on the skin. Then too, it dissolves easily thereby minimizing the risk of over-exfoliating. DIY body scrubs can be prepared with sugar in all kinds of ways. The best and most effective body scrub recipes are those that are designed to help the sugar stick to the skin. The foaming bath butter is ideal for this. In this way, the DIY body scrub recipe can be effective and easy to use.

3. Moisturizing Oil

The foaming body butter cleans the skin without causing excessive dryness. But for the best moisturizing treatment, it is a good idea to add a skin nourishing oil. Therefore, a generous amount of sweet almond oil is added to this moisturizing DIY body scrub recipe. This DIY body scrub does not leave the skin feeling greasy at all, just noticeably softer and smoother.

4. Fragrance

You can use any skin safe fragrance oil that you like in this body scrub recipe. In fact, this one was made with fragrance blend that reminds me of bananas. So, after using the mango fragrance oil, you can use the banana fragrance oil to go with this color.

Pink Lemonade DIY Body Scrub!

Posted on by Lyn

This DIY body scrub recipe is a whipped foaming DIY pink lemonade sugar scrub recipe. The main purpose of a body scrub is to gently exfoliate the skin while leaving the skin hydrated with a nice clean smell. So, this nicely scented body scrub recipe is prepared with moisturizing oil and both a chemical and a physical cleanser. It gently removes the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin with the physical exfoliant while cleansing with the gentle antibacterial foam. Therefore, this DIY body scrub recipe leaves the skin smelling clean and fresh while feeling noticeably smooth and moisturized.

diy body scrub

Ingredients

There are so many things that you can use to make a body scrub with all of them giving different results. This DIY body scrub recipe is prepared to provide you with good results for your next at home spa day. It is made with foaming bath butter, sugar, oil, fragrance, and coloring.

1. Foaming Bath Butter

The foaming bath butter is a thick, creamy moisturizing soap. Once whipped, the bath butter expands and feels even nicer when applied to the skin. So, when used alone, it becomes like a rich and creamy body wash. Once combined with the sugar, the foaming bath butter provides a welcoming soft texture for skin as you gently exfoliate.

2. Granulated Sugar

A plain DIY sugar scrub recipe is one of the most popular kinds of DIY body scrub recipes. It is popular because it is gentle enough to use on the skin and it dissolves easily in water. However, when used alone, or even with an oil, it does not stick to the skin very well while trying to exfoliate. And the moisturizing oils just kind of sit on top of your wet skin. So, when the sugar is combined with the foaming bath butter, this DIY body scrub recipe provides a much better skin care result that you will want to use again and again.

3. Moisturizing Oil

The foaming body butter is designed in such a way that it cleans the skin but does not cause excessive dryness. So, sweet almond oil is used to actually moisturize the skin in this DIY body scrub recipe.

4. Fragrance

You can really use any skin safe fragrance oil that you like in this body scrub recipe. However, this one was made with a fresh, uplifting and sugary sweet smelling pink lemonade fragrance oil.

5. Coloring

I opted for a basic powdered red food coloring for this DIY sugar scrub recipe to achieve a pretty pink lemonade color. However, you could use an actual pink colorant to achieve a softer pink if you get the powdered food coloring set.

  5. Finally, you can slowly stir the sugar into the mixture, or you can use the stick blender to blend the sugar into the foaming body butter.

How To Use:

  2. Then, simply use your fingers to apply the DIY pink lemonade sugar scrub onto wet skin in a circular motion.
