Gingerbread Sugar Scrub Recipe is a fun and festive way to take care of your skin. It smells warm and cozy, just like gingerbread cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil softened
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 5 –10 drops vanilla extract
- 1 –2 tsp water if needed
Instructions
Measure Sugar
- Place brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Brown sugar gives gentle exfoliation and a natural, warm scent.
Add Coconut Oil
- Add softened coconut oil to sugar. Mix well until it becomes smooth and slightly creamy.
Add Cinnamon
- Sprinkle in 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Stir evenly to blend the warm spice throughout the scrub.
Add Ginger
- Add 1 tsp ground ginger. Mix well to spread the spicy aroma in every part of the scrub.
Add Nutmeg
- Add 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg. Stir gently to distribute the nutmeg evenly for a warm, festive scent.
Add Vanilla
- Pour 5–10 drops vanilla extract. Stir until the aroma blends nicely with all the spices.
Adjust Texture
- If the scrub is too thick, add 1–2 tsp water slowly. Mix gently until the scrub is soft.
Transfer to Jar
- Spoon the scrub into a clean glass jar. Press lightly to fill the jar and close it tightly.
Label the Jar
- Label with name and date. Keep the jar in a cool, dry place to stay fresh longer.
Use the Scrub
- Apply to damp skin in circular motions. Rinse with warm water. Pat skin dry gently.
Moisturize
- After rinsing, apply lotion or body oil. Your skin will feel extra soft and smooth.
Enjoy the Scent
- Relax and enjoy the warm, gingerbread scent. Use 2–3 times per week for best results.
Notes
- Use softened coconut oil for easy mixing.
- Do not scrub too hard; sugar is gentle enough.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
- Add extra cinnamon or ginger for a stronger festive aroma.
- You can substitute coconut oil with almond or olive oil.
