DIY Cucumber Mint Sugar Scrub Recipe

This diy cucumber mint sugar scrub is ideal for rejuvenating dry, flaky skin. Have you ever thought why people place slices of cucumbers on their puffy eyes? There is a reason for that. Not only cucumbers are rich source of antioxidants, but in fact they are also very soothing to the skin. So, obviously if they are good for your eyes, they must be good for the rest of your skin too.

I have tried some of the best homemade sugar scrubs, and now I use them regularly. I keep a jar of sugar scrub in my shower and use it for 2-3 days in a week. My skin now feel so refreshed and glowing since I have started using a sugar scrub.

Basic DIY Cucumber Mint Sugar Scrub

Here is a quick, refreshing cucumber and mint sugar scrub recipe!

Note: As this scrub contains cucumber, so to make it last longer you would need to store in in refrigerator. Though, this way it would thicken up quite a bit, but it still will work just fine. If you like, you can take it out a few minutes before you are going to use it so it will soften up a bit.

You will need:

(i) Cucumber: 1, large size

(ii) Mint leaves: 2 tablespoons, fresh

(iii) Sugar: 2 ½ cups, granulated

(iv) Olive oil: 4 tablespoons, extra virgin

Method:

(i) Puree the cucumber and mint together in a blender.

(ii) Take a medium size glass bowl and put all the ingredients in it, namely, pureed cucumber, mint and olive oil.

(iii) Stir the mixture until it’s mixed uniformly. Depending upon your choice you may add more or less sugar to have the mixture of desired consistency (thickness).

(iv) Divide the scrub between your preferred airtight storage containers. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
