Sugar scrubs are super simple to make at home and they make wonderful gifts when you present them in mason jars with a pretty ribbon and a handwritten gift tag. This Blueberry Lemon Sugar Scrub looks beautiful thanks to its vibrant blue colour. The blueberry colour is complimented with a few drops of lemon essential oil to give it a lovely fresh scent. You can use fresh blueberries or use just the colour if you prefer.

You will need just a few ingredients from your kitchen pantry to make this Blueberry Lemon Sugar Scrub. It takes just minutes to make, and the recipe is easy enough to double or triple if you plan to pass some jars of homemade sugar scrub out to your friends and family.

Ingredient List

Cane sugar

This is a natural, unprocessed sugar that’s very gentle on skin.

Olive oil

I’ve chosen olive oil for this recipe, because it’s very budget friendly. Use just basic olive oil (unflavoured), there is no need to buy extra virgin olive oil (unless you want to).

Lemon essential oil

You can use soap making lemon essential oil or culinary essential oil. If it’s good to eat, it will be fine for your skin too.

Blueberries

Originally I’ve made this recipe with just blue soap colour, but it’s much better to use real blueberries. Not just for the colour, but for the smell too. Blueberries are also full of vitamins and will help to invigorate your skin as you brush it with the sugar scrub. You can use fresh blueberries or frozen ones, it doesn’t matter.

Directions:

Combine all ingredients into a bowl and stir well.
Put into airtight containers and store up to 3 months in dry cool place.

There you go!

I told you this recipe was easy! If you are in a mood of trying a different style of sugar scrubs I have another simple recipe for Oatmeal & Sugar Scrub or Cherry & Almond Sugar Scrub on my blog.

Until next time, happy relaxing!
