I might be a little addicted to all things pineapple. It's practically a requirement of summer. I happen to be a little addicted to all things beauty DIY as well. I decided to marry the two in a fun diy that takes moments to make. If you like the result of a sugar scrub but not the mess, give these a try. I use these on my feet and body--my skin is instantly soft and lightly moisturized. PLUS did I mention they are cute as all get out?
You'll need--
- 1 part soap base
- 2 parts carrier oil
- 2 parts sugar
- essential oils/body-safe scented oil
- yellow soap colorant
- glass bowl
- spoon
- pot holders
- pineapple mold--I used a pineapple ice cube tray from Amazon
 |
| Real life, y'all, is sometimes messy. |
You'll do--
- Heat the soap base in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. A double-boiler is the best method, but I was in a hurry. Carefully remove using the pot holders.
- Mix in the sugar, oil, and scent.
- Spoon into mold.
- Allow to cool 30 minutes.
- Pop out of mold.
You'll use--
- Take one pineapple and use with water to gently exfoliate, cleanse, and moisturize skin.
- These last 6 months.
- I like using these on my feet in the summer. I also use them on my body before shaving. I do not recommend using them on the face. You can get many uses from one pineapple.
- I added a little less sugar to make sure the pineapple design popped in the pics, but that's the best part of this DIY--you can change the proportions. Sometimes, like in the colder months, I'll add more oil or change the oil I used. Here I used Argan, but sometimes it's coconut. It depends on my need. You can change the sugar type as well.
- These make ADORABLE gifts.
- These are perfect for travel, too.
Would you make these?
Have you ever tried a solid sugar scrub?

These are so cute!!!!! I love pineapples, they are just pretty fruit. Haha! I stayed in most of this weekend too, that humidity was rough!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable are these?! I don't use sugar scrubs too often because they are so messy, so this is such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and convenient! I love pineapples too!
ReplyDeleteThese are ridiculously cute! Oh my goodness... I may need to make them. I never thought of putting a scrub in a solid form (let alone a super adorable one... ) but it's a great idea. It's like portion sizes for scrubs. :) XO - Alexandra

I have never tried a solid sugar scrub before. These def look super cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat DIY, I must try it.

These are so adorable! I like the idea of a solid scrub way more than the messy ones I've been using.
ReplyDeleteI've never used a solid scrub, but it's intriguing. Especially when it's this cute! I think I need a pineapple ice cube tray for these, ice cubes, and anything else I can think of. Ha! Semi-related note: I have a sold lotion bar and it's super weird to me. I haven't used it yet...but I'm like, how am I supposed to store it once I've started using it???
ReplyDeleteYou have got to be kidding me with this tutorial! I love it and am totally on the same page - pineapple all day everyday for me!! It really would make the best gift!!
