Hi everyone! I’ve decided to make a new body scrub, and I did it a bit differently then the last body scrub I posted about. As with all body scrubs, this lavender body scrub is super easy and can be done in only three steps!
The differences with this lavender body scrub is the addition of almond oil and a mixture of calming essential oils. In this post I will show you how to make this body scrub, all the ingredients you will need, and where you can find the ingredients.

I just recently started using almond oil for my skin and have found that it works amazing at healing my dry skin. The essential oils I used also make this scrub smell so good and make it a great addition to any relaxing shower or bath. I hope you guys like it!
What you will need:
- 2 Cups of Brown Sugar
- 3/4 Cup of Coconut Oil
- 2 Tbsp of Almond Oil
- 1 Tbsp of Vitamin E Oil
- 10-15 Drops Each of Lavender, Rosemary, & Frankincense Essential Oils
This recipe makes about 16 oz of body scrub. At the end of this post, I have included links where you can find each of the ingredients listed above.
I like my scrubs really oily because I have such bad dry skin, but if you like them less oily, you can change the recipe to 1/4 cup – 1/2 cup of coconut oil instead*.
Step 1: Melt the coconut oil so that it becomes liquified.
Step 2: Next, add the almond oil and essential oils to the coconut oil and stir until combined.
Step 3: Add the oil mixture to two cups of brown or white sugar. I chose brown sugar for this recipe. Mix the oil and sugar until combined.
So easy, the sugar scrub is finished! Now all that’s left is to put it in a container of your choice. I hope you guys like this scrub! Below I will show you where you can get all the ingredients for this scrub.

Just wondering if it goes off? I live in a humid sub tropical climate.
Do you mean if it wears off? After rinsing it off in the bath or shower it should make your skin feel soft for at least a few hours. I live in a very dry climate and I find when I use the scrub, I don’t have to use any lotion for the rest of that day.
No sorry! I meant does it have a use by date. Does it deteriorate with time or store well?
Oh! I’m sorry I misunderstood. It should store well, for at least a few months I’m sure. I would imagine the coconut oil or almond oil would be the first to go bad but I know you can store them for at least a few months, if not a year. I’ve never had a sugar scrub go bad and I keep them for at least a month or two. I found this website that may be of some help, it has a list of when oils go bad. It lists both almond oil and coconut oil as being good for at least up to a year. http://www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/tips-and-tricks/free-beginners-guide-to-soapmaking-common-soapmaking-oils/ Also, if it starts to smell rancid or look bad that may be a sign of it being expired. I hope this info helps! Thank you for bringing up this great question!
No worries! Thank you for the comprehensive answer to my question! Very useful Info.
You’re welcome! Glad I could help.

Love almond oil… bet your skin was super silky after using this scrub!
Almond oil is amazing. My skin always feels so smooth after using this, I love it!
Awesome may have to try this 😁
Thanks! ☺️
Very interesting, Love it
Thank you!
Sounds great. I can’t wait to try it, but I have a question: After rinsing off the body scrub, does it leave a slippery residue on the shower floor?
Thank you, I hope you like it! I usually use it in the bathtub and it does tend to leave some oil around the rim of the bathtub, so it may make the shower floor a little slippery, but I’m not completely sure. I would say be cautious until you know for sure, I hope that answers your question!

Thanks so much!
Oh, this brings back good memories of when my friend made me a vanilla brown sugar scrub as a gift. She mentioned the ingredients were edible…I confess, I did eat some of it. Need to make this again–I like the addition of vanilla EO (but I won’t be eating it this time around! 😉 )
What a great gift, makes me want to try making a vanilla scrub next time. I did make a coffee sugar scrub once that tasted pretty good. 😋 Thanks for checking out my post!
Since we started a Ketogenic WOE, we need a use for the sugar we no longer use for cooking/baking (except for holidays and baking for others!) Thanks for sharing!
That’s a great idea! It’s definitely a good way to use up sugar. Thank you for checking out my post!
Oh man ! I love a good homemade body scrub! And this one sounds super easy to make!! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Thank you for checking out my post!☺️ Homemade scrubs are the best, no need to get them in stores!
What an interesting article – and in the middle of a cold winter, how timely!
I am re-blogging this to SCAN today – and I plan to make some of the scrub for my own use – dry skin is a big problem in the winter time!
Thanks for visiting my blog recently, as well.
I appreciate this so much and I look forward to reading more of your interesting posts on beauty, crafts, and great ideas. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comment and reblogging my post! I hope you enjoy using this scrub. Dry skin does become much worse for during the cold winter months, but this scrub will definitely help with that. Also, you’re very welcome, your blog is wonderful, and I look forward to reading your posts as well!
