Vanilla Rosemary Sugar Scrub
July 30, 2013
Pinterest has literally taken off in our society. It makes me want to sew my on clothes, fix things in our home, build crafty projects, throw extravagant dinner parties and cook food that I constantly drool over. I have pinned and pinned thinking I am going to make something when in all reality I just keep pinning but nothing comes of it.
Until now….
This past weekend I decided that I was finally going to make a sugar scrub because I see so many circling the web, and I needed to exfoliate before I apply some self tanner. At first I thought it would just be the plain jane of sugar scrubs by adding vanilla. Low and behold I stepped this one up a notch by adding rosemary. I love the way rosemary smells and it actually is paired quite well with vanilla. My new favorite oil is coconut oil and I like how it keeps your skin smooth after you use this scrub. I was even able to use it on my face and I didn’t break out at all. Best of all it only took 5 minutes of my time to make and I already had the ingredients in my kitchen.

Yes you should! You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry!
I’ve been interested in sugar scrubs, too. I bet yours smells amazing!
The rosemary went really well with the smell of vanilla.
What a fabulous idea!
Thanks Claire!

I love doing this, too, and will often use leftover kosher salt, sunflower oil and culinary lavender. Beautiful photographs!
Ohhh I like that combination.
Oh my gosh – it’s like I can smell it through the computer screen!! I love making my own scrubs – I’ve never made it with coconut oil though! Totally making this love. Brilliant!
It’s so much cheaper than the store brand and you can make so many different combinations. I really liked the coconut oil in this scrub.

Can you use regular sugar?
I completely relate to this because Pinterest has turned me into an imaginary DIY queen more than once. I’ll pin a sugar scrub, a bread recipe, a closet makeover, and suddenly feel like I need a weekend retreat just to catch up with my own boards. This vanilla rosemary scrub actually looks like one of those rare pins I’d truly make, though. Simple ingredients always feel more doable. I love anything that makes a regular shower feel a little spa-like, almost like a tiny Skin Vitality moment at home. Funny how small homemade things can reset your whole mood.
