Scrubs are one of the most enjoyable ways to pamper your skin. Not only do they leave your skin soft and smooth, but making them yourself means you know exactly what’s going into them—plus, they can be colorful and smell amazing!
But with so many options online, choosing the right scrub can be overwhelming. That’s why I’ve put together a shortlist of five fantastic scrubs you can try at home. Small, curated lists are always better, right?
1. Chocolate Mint Sugar Scrub
- Why I love it: I add cocoa powder to everything—oatmeal, coffee, desserts—but never skincare until now!
- Key ingredients: Cocoa powder (tightens skin, fights aging), almond oil (moisturizes, brightens), and peppermint (soothes skin).
- Coconut oil? Yes, it’s in most scrubs because it firms up at room temperature, creating the perfect texture.
2. Whipped Grapefruit Mint Sugar Scrub
- First impression: It looks like a dessert! (But please don’t eat it.)
- Benefits: Grapefruit juice and extract help keep skin clear and youthful, while mint adds a refreshing touch.
3. Green Tea Sugar Scrub
- Why try it: Green tea is packed with antioxidants that fight aging, inflammation, and even bacteria.
- Bonus: Coconut oil (again!) keeps it moisturizing and easy to mix.
4. Blueberry Lemon Body Scrub
- What caught my eye: The gorgeous color and the power of blueberries (hello, antioxidants!).
- Extra perk: Lemon extract helps brighten skin and fade scars naturally.
5. Coconut Coffee Scrub
- Perfect for coffee lovers: Coffee grounds provide antioxidants and firming benefits for a youthful glow.
- Easy to make: If you have coconut oil and coffee at home, you’re halfway there!
