5 Christmas Sugar Scrubs You Can Make in 5 Minutes


No matter how many lists I make, how prepared I think I am, there will be an occasion where I find myself in need of a gift. And when that happens, I whip up a sugar scrub. These can be made in 5 minutes and remind me of Christmas.

Just click the title of the sugar scrub recipe you'd like to make.




DIY Santa's Lip Scrub--Just like at Lush, but made your way. Keeps lips smooth.


DIY Gingerbread Sugar Scrub--This smells just as delicious as the real thing. No baking required.

DIY Candy Cane Sugar Scrub--This peppermint-scented scrub is striped, just like a candy cane. I love using this on my feet.

DIY Snickerdoodle Sugar Scrub--One of my faves--the scent on this always invokes warm memories.

DIY Starbucks Sugar Scrubs--I created sugar scrubs based on 3 popular drinks at Starbucks. These are always a hit!

Which one did you like the best?

Extra Elle:
  • Everything is wrapped and under the tree. I'm still in denial. I usually wait until the last moment.
  • Every year I watch the Santaland Diaries, a play based on a story by David Sedaris. It still makes me laugh until I get tears in my eyes.

  20. That lip scrub sounds fantastic, a perfect winter gift. I need to try and make a scrub on my own sometime instead of shelling out loads of $$$ for one.

  26. Are these scrubs edible? LOL! I think I need to do the lip and candy cane scrubs immediately! And go you for wrapping your presents! I haven't wrapped a single one, but I usually wait and do them all at once so I don't have to get out all that stuff and put it away more than one time! Happy Monday!

  27. The starbucks scrubs are so cute! I think I would like Peppermint Mocha scrub or the regular candy cane scrub the best.

  28. I would love ALL of these--especially the gingerbread one.

  35. A nice scrub now would be so good, I confess I am knackered today and need some rest! I still have 3 or 4 presents to buy and will solve all this week, but a scrub is nice for other times too, not only when I am tired :) I bought agar agar (I'm vegetarian) for the "ice cubes shower gel" that you taught once!
