You are going to fall in love with this foaming sugar scrub recipe, it is light and fluffy but at the same time has a good amount of exfoliating power. In this scrub, the sugar exfoliates while the whipped soap base cleanses our skin. One of the best parts about making your own sugar scrub is that you have complete control over what goes in it. You can really make this your own scrub just by swapping out the color and fragrance oil that you use.

How to use foaming sugar scrub
Take a bit of the scrub and apply it to your wet skin. Using no pressure, you are going to want to massage it into your skin in a circular motion. Continue doing this until the sugar is dissolved and the scrub has started to foam. You might need to add a more water as you are using it.
Foaming Sugar Scrub Recipe Ingredients
Whipped Soap Base – This is the “foaming” element of this sugar scrub. It is a surfactant base that is light and fluffy.
White Granulated Sugar – The sugar is what makes this an exfoliating scrub.
Fragrance or Essential Oils – You can use any fragrance oil or essential oil that you would like, as long as it is skin safe. For this scrub, I used Aloha fragrance oil.
Mica Powder – The mica powder is completely optional, but I really feel like it takes it up to another level.
