We’re so happy everyone loved our olive oil and Himalayan salt scrub recipe so much! As requested here is another fun olive oil DIY for you to try– olive oil and sugar scrub!
This is a great remedy for dry and cracked skin this season. It also makes a great lip scrub to cure chapped lips and leave them super soft!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup AOOC Extra virgin olive oil for scent-free OR for a gentle scent try one of our fused or infused oils like:
- AOOC Wild Rosemary Olive Oil
- AOOC Blood Orange Olive Oil
- AOOC Tea Rose Olive Oil (in stores only)
- ½ cup white (or brown) sugar
- 3 Tbsp Honey (optional)
- small container or jar (small mason jars are perfect for this!)
(Adjust measurements of this recipe by using a 2:1 ratio of sugar to olive oil.)
Directions
- In a bowl mix together olive oil and honey (if using).
- Stir in sugar.
- Mix till it becomes paste-like.

Tips:
-
- Do not store in fridge- it will harden and you don’t want that!

- Add just a little bit of AOOC White Vinegar to your scrub for dry, itchy, or acne-prone skin!
