Anyone who has dry, flaky skin might want to consider creating their own sugar scrub to combat it. Sugar scrubs have many healing benefits, and since you can make them at home yourself, they are relatively inexpensive. They also have little to no side effects, even for the most sensitive of skins, since sugar’s fine texture can gently exfoliate your skin without leaving any sort of residue that can clog your pores. Sugar scrubs can be used all over the body, leaving your skin feeling smooth and healthy. They can prevent the onset of acne, heal eczema, prevent chapped lips, soften calloused areas of your body, and keep your skin feeling hydrated and looking radiant.

Here is what you need to make your own sugar scrub at your apartment in Alachua, Florida:

• Granulated sugar, 3 cups

• Your choice of oil (coconut, almond, or olive), 1 cup

• Essential oil, 10 drops

All you have to do is combine the ingredients together, and then pour the mixture into a jar to keep in your bathroom for whenever you need it. It’s that simple!
