Pink Lemonade Sugar Scrub is my favorite body scrub to use during the spring and summer. I love the way my skin feels after using this scrub. Plus, the smell is amazing.
I made my first homemade body scrub a little over a year ago. I prepared, packaged and gave my chocolate martini body scrub to all my girlfriends at our annual Christmas party.
After seeing how easy and economical it was to make, I’ve been looking forward to making more.
And, since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I decided to create a pink lemonade sugar scrub. It turned out exactly as I wanted it to and smells just like a big bag of fresh lemons.
Why Use A Sugar Scrub?
I have dry skin so I try to keep my skin as hydrated as possible. Exfoliating with a sugar scrub can create smooth, glowing skin. Plus, it feels so good.
My Pink Lemonade Sugar Scrub can be used as an all-over body scrub or use it to soften your hands.
I prefer sugar scrubs to salt scrubs because sugar is more gentle than salt. Sugar is less abrasive than salt and also dissolves easier.
Make sure you place the lid on the scrub after each use.
How Often Should I Use a Sugar Scrub?
Use sugar scrubs two to three times a week. After showering, gently rub the scrub in a circular motion. Rinse with warm water. Don’t forget to apply lotion after toweling off.
