I used to buy a lot of body scrub from the stores, but I realized that some of them contain chemicals that may not be the best for my health. That’s when I decided to start making my own at home. The best part about DIY sugar scrubs is that you know exactly what ingredients you’re putting on your skin. If you’re sensitive or allergic to certain ingredients, you can easily substitute or leave them out. As always, it is a good idea to consult a doctor before trying anything new on your skin, just to be safe.

This body scrub is made with simple ingredients like coconut oil, castile soap, coffee, sugar, and vanilla extract. You can easily find these ingredients at your local store. I also reused an old berry jar jam instead of buying a new one. It’s such an easy and fun way to reuse jars you already have at home. Just remove the label, wash it well, dry it, and it’s good to go. This homemade scrub is great for a DIY skincare routine or as a handmade gift for friends and family. Learn how to make your own DIY body scrub with this quick and easy recipe.

Creative Ideas and Variations

Don’t like vanilla or don’t have it at home? You can skip it and use coffee extract instead.
Don’t have a cream jar? Reuse your old body scrub jar or an old jam jar instead of buying a new one.
Adjust the amount of the ingredients based on your preference. If you’re going to use it on your elbow or heel, you can add more sugar to make the scrub coarser.
