looking for s place to comment, hope this is correct.
I made the basic sugar scrub 1/2 white sugar 1/4 olive oil and I put about
30-40 drops of Rose absolute essential oil in it and I can barely even smell
it. It’s made by “now” I got it at my local health/ nutrition store for $12.00.
Is it the brand and that’s why I can’t smell it much. Also is it safe to add
that much assential oil. What would be the max drops to use? Thank you
in advance

There is no true rose Essential oil. Rose absolute is made from roses.It is very very expensive. What you bought was probably a jojoba oil
with a super tiny amount of rose absolute in it. So little in fact you
could add the whole bottle and essentially only be adding a half a

drop of rose absolute to your mix. Use something like lavender
essential oil. It’s very strong and is sold not diluted.

There is a true Rose Essential Oil. It can be purchased through
YoungLiving.com. All of their oils are pure, therapeutice-grade
oils.

Is it supposed to have a lot of oil because mine is super oily?
And when i use it on my feet or hands the sugar comes off
fast and all i can feel is the oil.
December 16, 2015 at 6:27 PM
And cost way too much! Young Living is a MLM company –typically more expensive. I have found other therapeutic
grade essential oils – just as good and MUCH cheaper than
Young Living.

Actually there is a rise essebtial oil. A couple variations in species
and they are very expensive but are different from absolutes in
they are not solvent extracted. I have Hopewell Essebtial Oils
Rose Otto (Rosa damascene) and is steam distilled from the
flowers. I have the 5ml bottle which cost me approximately
$65.00

WHY IS NOW A TERRIBLE BRAND? I like Rocky Mountain EOs Ihave gotten good EOs from wholesalers. I have some Planet

EOs from a soap shop here to.

Frankly I do not like to put EO in my face scrubs. I have been
making therapeutic body butters for some time now and usevery little in that either. Most people are very happy I put only a
few drops of Lemon EO in it because many people have issues
with different EOs on their skin.
Reply
December 20, 2015 at 11:37 PM
What exactly are you using for the fragrances in the body
butters. My skin doesn’t do well with all EO’s but I still would
like to make my own and have some type of scent to it
without sacrificing my skin.
December 22, 2015 at 6:15 PM
I put no fragrance at all there is no need to.

I am also wondering why NOW is a terrible EO brand? I bought
peppermint, frankincense and lavender from a local health foodstore for lotion bars and they turned out amazing, especially for
my first time making them.
After doing a bit of research, NOW was probably one of the
better brands for its price point. I think that doTerra and YL are
terribly overpriced when you can get the same quality for muchless from other vendors.

was wondering the same thing about NOW. I have
purchased a few different brands and it seems good to me.
October 11, 2015 at 12:57 PM
The reason those brand of EOs are “over priced” is because
they are indeed a higher quality of EOs. Those brands of
EOs are used to not only scent homemade and natural
products but also for all natural health care and are

produced and tested at higher standards than any of the
other EOs out there. Quality assurance is essential when you
are using EOs for therapeutic and health care benefits so
you will pay more to ensure quality and purity of those
products. Other brands of EOs can use the same sourcing
methods. A lot of EO companies only produce EOs for scentor aromatherapy purposes and can include fillers or
synthetics which are not required to be disclosed on the
labels.
October 11, 2015 at 5:34 PM
One thing you have to remember YL and the other
expensive EOs you buy through a rep that sells them is you
are paying for the middle man (the rep that sells to you).They need to make money to. So if you buy these products
at wholesale they are not as expensive. Frankly I like Rocky
Mountain Oils. It was started by the brother of Gary Young.
They both started YL and split.
October 12, 2015 at 12:25 PM
I’ve done some research and turns out YL and doTerra
actually and in reality are not much better than EOs that can
be purchased from other vendors at a much lower price
point. Thank you for your input though.

I use New Directions eo. They come in bulk with a minimum
order of 100.00. I make soap to sell and use so I don’t mind
the bulk order policy. Plus its easy to spend that much on
eo! We have used this brand for years therapeutically,
topically, universally.. I haven’t had a bad experience with
this brand, and they have so many varieties its incredible. If
you really want to explore scents in eo then this is the best I
have found. I made my daughter “hay ” scented lotion! As far
as price goes its about a 1/3 or even less than more
expensive brands.
December 21, 2015 at 6:37 PM
I buy many of the NOW products and have also found that
they are a good quality for the price one pays. Their
essential oils are fine for cosmetic purposes. BUT if youwant a Pure, therapeutic, organic, & extremely high quality
essential oil … in my opinion…. there is non better than
Young Living. I have used them for almost 20 years and have
not found a better quality product. Not because I have not
tried!! But I continue to use Young Living when I need a
therapeutic quality oil.

I happen to like NOW glycerine oil. It was a bit pricey but worth
it. I tried olive oil, baby oil, mineral oil and even canola oil. My
favorite.is the glycerin. Tho I’m new at this and maybe used to
much olive oil because it weighed down my brown sugar scrub
and it was hard and felt very oily.. I do like baby oil with vit. E. It
smells great so because of the high price of “Now” glycerine, I’ll
probably use the baby oil. I’m new to this but had much fun
making the brown sugar, honey, orange zest, white sugar with
peppermint oil and a drop of food coloring and glycerine was a
hit at Christmas gifts. I played with all the colors.Brown sugar
and coffee with honey, vanilla extract and glycerine tho wouldbe my favorite because I could use it all over and got
compliments on my skin, especially my face. Thanks for the
receipes. I’m a big fan of homemade body scrubs and have
gotten my family using them too! Ive just got to find more
essential oils. Thanks for all the advice and tips everyone.

Baby oil is mineral oil and is really not that great for human
skin. It is used to clean hardwood floors after sanding andyou would be much better off using Almond, apricot, or
Avocado oil. Frankly I would not put lemon juice in anything
I am not keeping in the fridge, and if it is in the fridge I
would not keep it for more than 5 days. I use Lemon EO. I
put just enough oil to cover sugar after stirring it in. I prefer
organic sugar over brown sugar. Brown sugar is white sugarhad molasses in it . IfI make it with brown sugar for my lips I
just put enough oil in to wet the sugar.
March 5, 2016 at 2:30 AM
Baby oil, sadly, is a petroleum product and NOT good for
your skin. The same goes for mineral oil, Vaseline and a host
of other skin softener so. Check the labels of the skin
products you use and toss them out if they contain mineral
oil. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and is so
susceptible to toxins. You wouldn’t dream of slathering it
with motor oil! Use natural products instead. ??

Young livings rose oil is 160$ a bottle (not diluted, 100%) if that gives
you an idea of the concentration/dilution of the brand you bought.

December 17, 2015 at 9:04 PM
Rose Absolute is NOT EO!!! As for YL they are good EOs but
others have just as good. There is NO standard for EOs. So if
they say it is theraputic grade there is no testing for that. An FYI,
read the ingredients before buying. Blends often times havecarrier oil in them. That is true for YL and every other company
that makes EOs.

Yep, totally. I use a sugar scrub on my face almost every day, and

least) and my girlfriend loves it.

No no no please do NOT use a sugar scrub on your face! The skin on
your face is VERY delicate and sugar granules can cause microtears in
the skin–which can aggravate acne, cause breakouts and premature
aging.

To Sam and Dawn I use a scrub that is gentle for the face
and still good enough for the body. Its made with Ground
oats. You just grind the dry oatmeal to make it fine so it
doesn’t glog the drain. Recipe is this…
1 1/2 cups regular oatmeal ground with blender or food

sun when I was in my teens and 20s. I have many sun spots
and I swear they are fading in color and the bumps I have
are leveling off. I have skin tags on my neck and those are
wearing off as well. I want to start making my own sugarscrub and will use your recipe. I have the organic virgin
coconut oil and hope to make it this coming week. My
friend makes it and sells it. That’s where I first heard about
sugar scrub. I love the way it feels on my face.
September 18, 2015 at 11:15 PM
I would suggest using Baker’s Sugar, or blend your sugar to
grind the particles. It’s much gentler on the face. And Iusually mix the sugar with honey, because honey is a natural
antibacterial agent. Rinsing well is essential.

Can I use any oil for the brown vanilla sugar scrub? I can’t find almond oil
anywhere near me and I want to make some for mothers day.

Almond oil can be bought on Amazon. You can use coconut, olive,
apricot, or avocado, but be careful what essential oils you use with it
as some of the alternatives to almond oil have their own smell. You
can always use coconut oil with organic cocoa powder for a Mounds
bar scrub or add almond extract for an Almond Joy type scrub. Hopethat helps!!

Coconut oil is solid In temp below around 60 and liquid
when above. So in winter it’s solid in summer it’s liquid.
February 18, 2016 at 10:48 PM
If you want to use coconut and live in colder climate, use
fractionated coconut oil which always stays in liquid form. I
live in California so I dont have the issue of it becoming
solid.

I have had itchy skin at the summer time for all my life, my Mum called it
prickly heat, Docs have not helped at all. The summer is a nightmare, its
almost like my skin is allergic to my own sweat, and i break out in hives,
scratching and clawing all night…..this year is unbearable, prob due to my
age now….i tried a homemade sugar scrub last night, and OMG………it feels
GREAT….got the best nights sleep in a long time, so i did a bit of research
and have just made my own, using ideas from here and a few additions.
Half sugar, half coffee grounds, olive oil, tbsp of honey and …………..stinging

nettles!!!!!…..yup. stinging nettles……saw a woman years ago on tv, who
said she only washed her face in yoghurt mixed with honey and blanched
stinging nettles, so most of the sting is gone…!!!…what remains is a slight
tingle, which fools the body into thinking more collagen is needed, so it
produces more…….she was at least 65….and looked 30+……..im dying to try

I suffered with itchy skin for years until I quit using soaps or
shampoos that contain any kind of sulfates. Just check the
ingredients on the product. Most soaps and shampoos use sulfates
because it increase the foaming action. However, there are many
sulfate free shampoos and body washes!!

You only should use T-50 vitamin E oil. It is a all natural plant
based product. The kind you find in most health food stores
is the same kind that is in capsules. The kind found in health
food stores is not natural and is an irritant to the skin.

Use Almond oil from GNC or Olive Oil, organic sugar and
essential oils. Put sugar on jar then enough oil to saturate
sugar and have a little extra in jar. Then add EOs I like
Spearmint and Lemon EO myself but you can use any smell
you like You can get EO at about any health food store. You
can use 4 oz canning jars. I would not use any butters or
hard oils on scrubs because they can clog drains. Never put
anything that can spoil in any of my products. Never put
water in scrubs or it is going to end up with mold in it or
worse.

grounds because it is much smaller (especially brown. White sugar is a
little closer to a salt feeling) If you are using the scrub everyday on your
face you’ll probably want a soft exfoliant because the harder ones take off
more skin and can do camage over time. But for your body any of the
above will work perfectlt. It all depends on what scents you favor.

Clement, there are tons of lip scrubs but the one i use and make
myself is just white sugar, coconut or olive oil, and i usually addvanilla extract or ground cinnamon. I recommend vanilla for a
good smell but its uo to you. Just mix the sugar and the oil, add
the vanilla or cinnamon (or whatever you choose), mix again,
then put it into a container. For the dark you could add a few
drops of lemon juice.

wax from the berries. So this stuff will not go rancid. Ever! Jojoba is also
the closest to the body’s natural sebum (I think that is how you spell it lol)
or natural oil production.
I have mature, problemed sensitive skin and cannot use much. But! I have
had great luck with the following oils; Grapeseed. (100% dilution, Jojoba
100% dilution, Hazelnut 100% dilution, And Olive Oil 100% dilution)
Note: Olive oil is anti-infammatory. Great! For sensitive skins! And
Hazelnut is Antiseptic. Great for a foot oil! Good luck all!

Baking soda, as opposed to Baking Powder is actually
alkaline and wonderful for the skin. It dissolves grime on
hands and other areas of skin very quickly and softens skin
in the process. You can throw a few tablespoons in a bath to
soften the water if you have itchy skin or skin rashes.

So I made a batch of scrub yesterday, and I used it on my hands shortly after I
finished and I loved it! However, this morning, I was going to use it in the
shower, but it was as hard as a rock, I guess due to the coconut oil hardening?
s there any way short of keeping it a warmer temperature to keep the coconutoil from hardening?

One option is to make separate little balls or cubes out of the scrub when
you first mix it. Let them harden, then use them individually. If it’s thecoconut oil that is hardening, it will soften at skin temperature.

Did you put essential oils in your scrub? I bet that’s what made you itch. I

to myself I get super itchy and it kinda burns. I put extracts in my scrub.
The stuff in the baking isle. I have only used pure extract but I suppose
imitation would work as well. I make a sugar, honey and almond extract

If you are allergic to essential oils, be very careful with the

a lot of reading about essential oils and sensitivity, and you may
find that it is better to just leave your scrub unscented. A little
disappointing but better than rash/sensitivity. Good luck!

I always used to itch after taking a shower. I found out about 12 years ago
that I suffer from low sodium (hyponatremia) after I ended up in Intensive
care because my sodium dropped to 115; normal is around 130. Now
when I itch after a shower, I eat a little bit of table salt. Check with your
doctor first, to see if low sodium might be the problem.

Exfoliating your face everyday is so bad for you. You can end up with
broken capillaries etc. Try once a week or once a fortnight….
Reply
October 19, 2014 at 1:02 AM
It depends on what you’re exfoliating with. When ‘scrubs’ first
came on the scene, they were made with crushed/brokenalmond shells & such. Those tear & injure your skin & the
abrasions just LOVE bacteria. Things that dissolve – like sugar or
salt – don’t cause that kind of damage because the ‘sharp’ edges
soften almost immediately. If you have dry skin, though, salt is a
bad choice.

if necessary, according to one’s own skin needs:
A 16-oz bottle of witch hazel (Dickinson’s is very good, but expensive in

2 tsp (10 mls) almond Castile soap (Dr. Bronner’s is best)

12-16 drops pure Spearmint essential oil
Mix all together in the witch hazel bottle & let sit for a couple days, so the
spearmint oil can fully emulsify. Use with cotton facial pads morning &
night. This is a very gentle way to exfoliate on a daily basis. Remember to
cleanse your décolletage as well; it’s really an extension of your face &
neck! This is also very handy for quick clean-ups for underarm odor. I useit nightly on my husband’s scalp & forehead (I’d use it on his entire face
but he has a full beard) — a little TLC & attention never hurts in a marriage!
The toner gets cloudy in cool temps; just shake it up first. It clears up in
warm temps & doesn’t need shaking. I’ve used lavender oil also but didn’t
like it as well, & it was ever so slightly irritating, even though I use it nightly
on my soles to help me sleep better. Spearmint is fabulous for stimulatingskin. This is my skin-care foundation; the best formula I’ve ever used for
clear skin.

mix brown sugar with raw honey. It leaves me face clean and super soft, plus
the honey kills the bacteria that causes acne. I use it once a week, sometimes
2-3 times a week if I am having major breakouts. Honey can clear acne and it is
a lot less smelly and cheaper than store bought products!!

I would never add a tint to something likely to stick to the tub or sink, I
think it would be a like a white elephant gift. (I wouldn’t want ANOTHER job of cleaning the ring of stain off after my pampering moment.) Also, I’m
concerned about the solid coconut oil clogging the drain over time as it
would coat as it cools going down and solidifies every time …and using a
degreaser after an organic product seems…. silly. A degreaser is inhaled at
higher toxic levels than things you put on your skin, too. I just don’t get
why you wouldn’t buy all these wonderfully scented scrubs at Bath and
body works if the environment isn’t a concern and save some money,
coconut oil and essential oils are EXPENSIVE! Am I missing something?

My guess would be that making these products with organic oils
versus buying sugar scrubs from a chain is better (much!) due to ALL
the chemicals that are in the store bought scrubs?? Good point on
the coconut oil possibly plugging up the drains?? I would also like to
add that using a “therapeutic grade” essential oil would help. I onlyuse Young Living EOs for anything I make!

My solution for risking clogging your drains with the coconut oil
is that using the scrub is always the first thing I do when I get in
the shower. By the time I’ve washed my hair and the rest of me, I
feel like the hot shower has run long enough to wash it away. I
have not had a problem with it making the tub slippery or with it
clogging the drains, but I don’t use a lot.

I clean my tub/shower with white vinegar, baking soda, and washing
powder (Ten Mule) after my pamper sessions. I have used coconut oilin all my body pampering regiments for five decades and never had
any issues with drain plugging except when a tree root got in there.

I am allergic to perfumes and essential oils
I’m hopeful the extracts will work

make a scrub with coconut oil, white sugar, and lime zest. It’s definitely a

Do you use this as cleanser and moisturizer, or do you still moisturize
afterwards? So far, I only used it on my hands, but they feel nice and moist
without adding anything else to it. Just curious what the recommendation
would be. Thanks!

love making sugar scrubs, especially considering how expensive they are to
buy. I personally use a recipe of sugar, oil (vitamin e or olive) and 5 drops each
of juniper berry and orange essential oils; it smells amazing! I’m glad I found
your site, now I have more recipes to try

Brown sugar works fine, I mix brown and white sugar, Try adding atablespoon or so of cocoa powder also. Smells wonderful, made some for
my daughter-in-law and son. They love it.

You might want to try it first, I am finding that my face actually gets

similar. Good luck!

Hi, how long can you store the scrubs before they go bad?
Reply
June 20, 2014 at 9:56 PM
Hi,
I would think that if you are very careful to NOT use wet hands to scoop
the scrub out and NEVER let even a drop of water get in it ,it should stay
“good” and bacteria free for weeks…BUT what are the chances of that ??
Please always be careful with any water getting in the container and make
small bathes.
Reply
May 13, 2015 at 5:15 PM
Just curious, but why is it bad to let water get into the sugar scrub? I
usually scoop mine out with wet fingers in the shower. Didn’t realize
that was bad to do?

I do not put my sugar scrub in a tub. I put it in a bullet shaped bottle with a
screw top. I shake it up really well, uncap and pour some in my hand.Everything is always mixed well (not all oil not just sugar) and no water
ever gets dropped into the container! No spoons necessary and it does
not get oily or sticky on the outside of the bottle.

Almond oil and coconut are great! As the author of many DIY skin care books, I
enjoy using almond oil a lot in my own recipes. Rosehip seed oil is a great
alternative and it has an added benefit of healing scarring faster. Thanks for
sharing your recipes.

When using coconut oil, does it come in a liquid form? The coconut oil I cook
w/ is solid, in a jar. So, so you use this sold form for the scrubs???
Reply
December 20, 2013 at 8:04 AM
Coconut oil melts to a liquid around 74 degrees. I found out in accident
when I went for my jar this summer and found it a little different than
when I left it. Body heat melts it right away. Also I saw a comment that the
heat from a warm shower will melt it perfect to use.

Hi. I worked in a spa for years and a quick tip : keep a magic eraser in your
shower and wipe the walls/ tub / floor down prior to getting out and obviously,
after you use your scrub. Best for keeping your shower clean , soap scum and
oil slick free. I highly recommend elizabethvanburen and mountainroseherbs
for excellent, clean and healthy products. Best

Just don’t use the magic eraser on fiberglass tubs. It will scratch the finish.
Porcelain can handle it, but anything else probably won’t.

What does “fractionated” mean? Does that mean it has been more
processed? Does it lose any of it moisturizing qualities? is it more or
less expensive?

Yes, it is more processed which means it has lost some of itsquality.
