Ever since I discovered how to make body sugar scrub, I’ve been fairly obsessed. No more splurging on fancy scrubs when I can make them myself. And I’ll tell you, I’ve made some fabulously fancy scrubs. I mean, my body DESERVES them!
Not only that, it’s super economical and I love me some savings. Sometimes, you gotta respect yo’ money.
Here is my latest sugar scrub concoction, Cherry Blossom Sugar Scrub. SERIOUSLY.
I think baby oil makes the most sense for this scrub. It’s fresh smelling, soft, and very inexpensive. Plus, if you’re a mommy (ME!), you’ll always have baby oil already at hand. Other oil options are coconut, olive, almond, avocado, and Vitamin e.
I used regular granulated sugar. If you have extremely sensitive skin, substitute with brown sugar as the texture is softer.
I added the leaves to give it some color. You can definitely use more fragrant petals such as lavender, roses, jasmine, lilac, etc.
For all you ladies who enjoy the more beautiful things in life and like to save (I believe this is ALL of us!), this is a MUST try!

I love this! It inspired me to go make a batch of my own, although I had to substitute some things, still really pleased with the finished product. This is great stuff, and perfect to give as gifts as well.

Sounds amazingly fragrant! I would suggest why not Mineral Oil? It is also inexpensive, don’t need much, good for all baby rashes of all kinds, a major exterior moisturizer AND, a perfectly safe to eat as well–for baby safety I mean lol!

Hi Crysta- I’ve kept mine for 3 days already in a closed container in the shower and it seems to be lasting fine. I think it’ll last for up to 1 week (or longer). You should make some for the lovely ladies in your life too! Have a great day! Kellie
