by 6 Comments


This is a fabulous Brown Sugar Body Scrub recipe! It leaves your skin feel soft and smooth. #bodyscrub #diy #brownsugarbodyscrub #howto

Today, I’m going to share my favorite recipe for brown sugar body scrub.

It’s actually a recipe that I shared in my ebook a while back, but since my ebook has been around for quite some time now, I thought I’d share it here and include a video to show you just how easy it is to make.

And it is easy. And worth the small amount of effort it takes to whip up — very, very worth it. πŸ™‚

Here’s the video tutorial on How to Make Brown Sugar Body Scrub:

Benefits of Using Sugar Scrubs

I’ve used both my own DIY sugar scrubs as well as organic scrubs purchased (on clearance) from the store. I like both. But there are some benefits to making your own.

For one thing, it’s cheaper to do-it-yourself. Another plus is that you know exactly what’s in the scrub you create. And finally, the possibilities for the different types of scrubs you can come up with are seemingly endless.

All of these benefits are in addition to the benefits you get after you apply the sugar scrub to your skin. Scrubs are awesome for exfoliating your skin and making it feel clean, soft, and smooth. Tough skin? It’s no match for a sugar scrub!

What’s Coming Up Next

In my next video, I’m going to show you how to make another one of my favorite homemade health and beauty recipes. This time it’ll be for hair conditioner. Stay tuned for that. πŸ™‚

How to Make Peppermint Sugar Body Scrub (Video)

DIY Recipe and Gift Idea for Peppermint Sugar Body Scrub - It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth! #Diy #SugarScrub

It’s been busy around our home with two of my sons, along with my mom, celebrating birthdays this month.

But on Sunday evening, I finally got around to filming a video on how to make peppermint sugar body scrub. You might remember this recipe from the post I shared it in here.

In addition to the blog post, I thought I’d create a video to show you just how easy it is to make the peppermint sugar scrub at home. I hope you enjoy it. And please excuse the not-so-great lighting. With it being ‘daylight saving’ day and all, I figured I’d have at least a few extra hours of daylight to film the video. I was wrong. πŸ˜‰

Here’s the video:
