Things You'll Need:
- Plastic or glass jar
- Sea salt
- Vitamin E oil
- Liquid Germall Plus
-
Step 1
Make the sugar scrub in small batches. Depending on how often you use the scrub, you should make enough for only a couple of months. After this time, you risk the oil going rancid.
-
Step 2
Store homemade sugar scrub in a plastic or glass container. Plastic is the best choice since you make sugar scrub with oil, and glass can get slippery and break if you drop it in the shower. The container should also have an air tight lid.
-
Step 3
Keep the sugar scrub on the bathtub ledge, on the sink counter, in your medicine chest or underneath the sink in a drawer. It doesn't need to be refrigerated, unless your recipe uses a dairy product such as yogurt or whey.
-
Step 4
Mix a preservative into your body scrub, if you plan on storing it for longer than a couple of months. This is also a good idea if you're giving the scrub as a gift and aren't sure how long the person will keep it. Vitamin E oil and sea salt are natural preservatives you can use in homemade sugar scrub.
-
Step 5
Add a stronger preservative, if there's a chance you'll get water into your sugar scrub. If storing the sugar scrub on the bathtub ledge where it can fall and fill up with water, use a stronger preservative like Liquid Germall Plus, which fights bacteria in water-based products.
