This easy strawberry sugar scrub is the perfect way to start your summer off with smooth skin!

Strawberries are naturally acidic, so they make a great scrub for oily skin. It has also been suggested that they help to lighten blemishes and scars although I’m not sure if there is much proof of that.

To top it off, fresh strawberries smell absolutely amazing! There is something so sweet and fresh about just picked strawberries, so why wouldn’t you want to rub them all over your skin?

This strawberry scrub recipe is made for the body, not for faces.  You could certainly try it on your face, but I always find sugar to be a little too rough on delicate facial skin. It is perfect as a body scrub though!

** this scrub needs to be used immediately after making because it contains fresh fruit. It won’t keep well, even for a day. Since this strawberry sugar scrub smells so fresh on its own, there was no need to add any essential oils. You certainly could add a drop of lemon to the red raspberry seed oil before mixing in, but I find no need to waste expensive essential oils in this simple recipe that works perfectly well on its own.
