DIY Sugar Scrub Recipe

It’s the time of year where cinnamon is part of every recipe. Cinnamon Bark essential oil creates a warm and comforting aroma which is why I enjoy adding a drop to some of my DIY fall recipes.

As the holidays and winter months approach it’s important to remember to treat ourselves with self-care. I know from experience, there seems to be a little more stress around the holidays. By taking an extra step of care in your routine with a simple sugar scrub may support healthy skin appearance but may also help create an inviting and calm environment.  

Let’s have some fun creating one of the easiest DIY skin care products with your seasonal essential oils while giving yourself a little more self-care in the process.

To avoid harmful ingredients we have had create success making our own skin care products using our essential oils. We always encourage the path to optimal health and wellness is to become aware of unknown ingredients. This recipe is a great way to turn unknown ingredients, into known ingredients!
DIY Cinnamon Sugar Scrub
I enjoy the fall sugar scrub in the shower because my hands, elbows, and legs feel softer, smoother, and moisturized when taking time to exfoliate with this easy recipe. I keep a large mason jar in the shower for convenience.
  
Cinnamon Sugar Scrub:
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup Jojoba oil or fractionated coconut oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
  • 3 drops of cinnamon essential oil*
    • Alternative essential oil options for the fall:
      • Clove essential oil*
      • Ginger essential oil*
      • Nutmeg essential oil*
*100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oil from Young Living Essential Oils ​

​Directions:
  • Mix the Cinnamon Bark essential oil, vanilla, and the sugar together in mixing bowl.
  • Then slowly add in Jojoba Oil or Fractionated Coconut oil until the mixture is the desired consistency and texture.
  • Store in a glass jar.
  • Use in the shower for legs and arms or after hand washing in the sink.


Jojoba Oil Benefits
I often add Jojoba oil when a carrier oil is needed in my skin care recipe.

Research indicates jojoba oil may:
  • Have anti-inflammatory properties
  • Enhances topical absorption
  • Contains wax esters which may be beneficial for acne treatment
  • Stable and resists oxidation (oxidation is a proposed cause of aging) which likely renders jojoba oil an antioxidant 
  • Be noncomedogenic - will not clog pores
    • Jojoba oil has a molecular structure similar to the oil naturally produced by the human body
  • Restores skin barrier to aid in the first line of defense in the immune system


Extra Caution: These hot essential oils may irritate the skin. Personally, I always test DIY products on a  small area of skin before using. I never use Cinnamon Sugar Scrub on sensitive areas of my body.
