Pink Lemonade Sugar Scrub Recipe
For this DIY you will need sugar, a carrier oil ( I like to use jojoba oil), essential Oils, yellow and pink mica powders for color.
In a small bowl, add your essential oils directly into the carrier oil and stir well to combine.
Pour the oil mixture over the sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
Add a small amount of pink mica powder to one bowl and yellow mica powder to the other. Mix until you reach your desired color.
Spoon a layer of pink scrub into one side of your jar.
Add a layer of yellow scrub on the other side. Continue alternating layers until the jar is full to create a swirl effect.
About the Ingredients
Sugar: Sugar is a gentle, natural exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and refreshed.
Carrier Oil: The oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin.
- Avocado oil: Rich and deeply hydrating
- Sweet almond oil: Lightweight and fast-absorbing
- Coconut oil: Adds a thicker, more solid texture
Essential Oils: Citrus oils like lemon and grapefruit give this scrub its bright, refreshing scent and enhance the overall experience.
Mica Powders: These provide the signature pink and yellow color, creating that classic “pink lemonade” look.
How to Use
- Scoop a small amount with dry hands or a spoon
- Apply to damp skin in the shower or bath
- Gently massage in circular motions
- Rinse thoroughly
Use 2–3 times per week for best results.
Notes & Storage Recommendations
- Avoid introducing water into the jar to extend shelf life
- Start with a small amount of mica and build color gradually

- Layer carefully for a clean swirl effect
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Keep tightly sealed
- Best used within 3–6 months
FAQ: Pink Lemonade Sugar Scrub
Why is my scrub too oily or too dry?: Adjust the ratio—add more sugar for a drier scrub or more oil for a softer consistency.
Can I use salt instead of sugar?: Yes, but sugar is generally gentler and better suited for most skin types.
Can I use fragrance oil instead of essential oils?: Yes, as long as it’s skin-safe and suitable for body products.
Do I have to use mica powder?: No, it’s optional. The scrub will still work without added color.
Is this safe for sensitive skin?: It can be, but always test a small area first and use gentle essential oils.
