Watermelon Sugar Scrub Bars

Reading this, I’m sure that you have a lot of questions. The good news is that the instructions are easy to follow, and the natural ingredients make this skincare product a safe DIY family activity.

The exfoliating properties of using a sugar scrub may leave dry skin since they scrub the natural oils off. The almond oil penetrates the skin and add moisturizing properties to the scrub bar. Additionally, the right amount of almond oil softens these bars, enhancing the easiness of application.

These can last about a year when preserved correctly. They are best kept in an air-tight bag at room temperature. Melt and pour soap tend to sweat in humid conditions; that’s why it’s recommendable to preserve them in an air-tight bag.

Sugar is a crucial ingredient to achieve exfoliation properties. Any sugar with large grains is suitable for this recipe. However, I recommend the white granulated sugar since it has moderately sized grains.
