How to Make Your Own (Totally Giftable!) Sugar Scrub Cubes

Homemade scrubs are some of my all-time favorite beauty products. They’re super easy to make and they leave your skin feeling so darn soft and squeaky clean. But you know what I’m not such a fan of? That mess. I can hardly even make it to the shower without spilling it everywhere, or getting my jar waterlogged and ruining what’s left of my scrub. I may be a tad melodramatic, but the struggle is real.

That’s why I want to hug whoever came up with the idea for pre-portioned sugar scrub cubes. They’re made with soap and nourishing coconut oil, so they hold their shape while still exfoliating like a dream. And since there are about a million different scent + ingredient combos you can choose, there’s seriously a scrub for every ailment. What’s not to love about that?

How to Make Sugar Scrub Cubes

To make these sugar cubes, all you really need are three ingredients: melt and pour soap, coconut oil and sugar. Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and spoon the mixture into the molds of your choice. Once they’ve cooled, pop them out and store in an airtight container until you’re ready to use them.

But the fun part is choosing different colors, oils and scents to add. The combinations are endless and I’m always a fan of using what you have on hand, but checkout out this quick video for a few of my personal favorites add-ins.
