CBD oil sugar scrubs are a great way to exfoliate tired skin and reveal a fresh glowing complexion. Making your own is a soothing self-care activity, especially when you add some CBD to the mix. CBD oil can help make your skin baby soft.

There are a lot of sugar scrub recipes out there, but we combed through the best to formulate a simple recipe that you can use from head to toe.

Ingredients

If you plan on making a large batch be sure to have a nice glass jar with a lid on hand. You will also need a nice sturdy stirring utensil, we like to usea stainless steel fork or small whisk. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, a sugar scrub like this will be good for about 2-3 months. Feel free to double or triple the recipe for larger batches.

Your Choice of CBD Oil

For this recipe we recommend using either of the following CBD oil products:

1 Tablespoon CBD Oil Honey or 17% Pure Decarboxylated CBD Oil ¼ of a Gram.

*Use your choice of CBD Oil Honey or Decarboxylated CBD Oil.*

The great thing about our CBD oil honey is that it’s nice and fully blended for you, making it very easy to work with. Sugar scrubs are very dense, so having your honey and CBD already blended is very convenient.

The decarboxylated oil is a versatile option, be sure to soften the sealed oil syringe in warm water before blending it in. This oil has a beautiful natural dark blue color and a thick paste-like consistency. Start by blending it with your choice of oil before adding the sugar and honey.

Carrier Oil: 1-2 Tablespoons

The carrier oil will help make your sugar scrub malleable and easy to spread on your skin. Choose from jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, or avocado oil. Jojoba oil is great for oily skin as it doesn’t clog pores, sweet almond oil and avocado oil is excellent for hydrating dry skin.

Start with one tablespoon, mixing in the sugar and honey as you go. Add up to a second tablespoon, if you prefer your scrub to be less dense, add more oil until you have reached the desired consistency.

Sugar: 2 Tablespoons

Sugar makes a great natural exfoliant, containing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) which helps promote healthy skin cell turnover. Depending on your goals choose from regular white sugar, brown sugar, or raw sugar.

White sugar is great for sensitive facial skin, brown sugar is a good all-purpose exfoliant, and raw sugar is great for hands and feet. You can also experiment with Maple Sugar, it tastes just like maple syrup and has a consistency similar to brown sugar.

Honey: 2 Tablespoons

Raw honey contains enzymes and antioxidants to clear pores of impurities, allowing it to naturally moisturize and kill bacteria. It has been said that honey can also lighten dark spots and reduce the appearance of scars.

If you are opting to work with CBD oil honey, you can use one table spoon of the CBD honey and one of plain honey. In the video below, we got a bit enthusiastic and used two tablespoons of CBD oil honey, this is optional.

For recipes using the decarboxylated oil, choose a pure grade A honey.

We added some cinnamon to these ones for added benefits. Gold CBD oil can also be used, the combinations are endless! Have fun trying new recipes with your friends and family!

Essential Oil: Optional 1-2 Drops Total

Use essential oils sparingly as they can irritate skin on their own. Depending on your skin type or condition, there is a variety of essential oils you may add to your scrub. Lavender essential oil is great for relaxation and soothing sensitive skin. Lemongrass essential oil is perfect for balancing out a greasy complexion. There are dozens of amazing essential oils to choose from, be careful not to use more than 2 drops total to avoid skin irritation.

Using your CBD Oil Sugar Scrub

Start by opening your pores with a nice warm towel or warm water. This will help prime your skin to absorb all the natural goodness. Gently massage the CBD oil sugar scrub on your skin with the pads of your fingers in small circular motions.

Feel free to use on face, neck, and body. After about 60-90 seconds of gentle massage, rinse well with warm water and pat dry. For added benefits leave on for up to ten minutes.

This is such a fun activity to do with family and friends. Make a big batch, a handcrafted CBD oil sugar scrub is the perfect gift.

CBD oil topicals are a great way to relax and improve your well being. We create our own topical salves in three different herbal varieties, but perhaps you want something a little more unique.

Making a custom formulation not only ensures you’re getting exactly what you’re looking for, but it can be more affordable as well. Here we’re going to give you some pointers on making a blend from scratch.

Sourcing your CBD Oil & What to Expect

CBD oil is the active ingredient in your blend, so it’s very important you purchase from a reliable source. Look for highly refined, full spectrum CBD oil. We recommend our very own Pharma Hemp Complex 25% Pure Gold Oil which contains approximately 250mgs of CBD per gram. We recommend using half a gram to one gram of the Gold Oil per one ounce of total serum.

This oil is highly refined, so the texture is nice and smooth. CBD oil has a very thick, creamy viscosity. Try a small amount on your fingertips to get an idea of the texture. It will hold its form and melt when rubbed between two fingers. Luckily a little bit goes a long way, so when we mix it with some carrier oils it will be much easier to work with. The 25% Pure Gold Oil smells very much like hemp thanks to it’s rich terpene content.

Choosing a Carrier Oil

Carrier oils are what will make up the bulk of your formula – remember a little bit of CBD goes a long way. The carrier oil will help you apply a small amount of CBD to a large area of skin, such as your face and neck. You can use just one carrier, or combine a few different ones for added benefits.

A good carrier oil won’t clog pores, and has its own health benefits. When deciding which carrier oil will be best for you, be sure to try some of it on a small area of skin to test for allergies. Here are some common carrier oils that are gentle enough for facial use.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is similar to our natural sebum, so it won’t clog pores. It makes a wonderful moisturizer on it’s own, and has a thin consistency. This gentle oil is safe enough to use as an eye makeup remover, and moisturizes as it cleanses. It doesn’t have a strong scent either, making it comfortable to use. This oil is good for normal to oily skin.

Avocado Oil

Another excellent option for dry skin. This oil is a bit thicker than jojoba oil, and has a faint nutty scent. The color is light green, and will look golden when mixed with CBD oil. There are numerous skincare benefits from avocado oil. If you have dry skin, opt for avocado oil.

Sweet Almond Oil

Not bitter almond oil, sweet almond oil – there’s a difference. Sweet almond oil has hydrating properties, which help prevent water loss. This makes it perfect for dry skin, sensitive skin. Similar to jojoba oil, sweet almond oil is high in vitamin E. It has only a faint smell, despite it’s sweet name. This oil should not be used by anyone with nut allergies, even topical use carries a risk.

Hemp Seed Oil

Unlike CBD oil, this oil is made from just the hemp seeds, and doesn’t contain THC or CBD. It does however contain a plethora of other skincare benefits. This oil moisturizes without clogging pores, and is great for balancing out combination skin. Hemp seed oil is well known for it’s high omega-6 fatty acid content.

This oil is great for acne-prone skin thanks to it’s high omega-6 content. It also contains linoleic and oleic acids which promote youthful skin, the human body can’t produce these acids on its own.

Adding Essential Oils

Essential oils aren’t just for aromatic pleasure, they also contain beneficial terpenes. These are optional, and should be used sparingly as they can irritate skin when used in excess. One or two drops per ounce should be enough. Be sure to test out the essential oil mixed with the carrier oil of your choice on your skin before adding it to your complete formula.

Helichrysum Essential Oil

Perfect for acne prone skin, this essential oil is well known for its antibacterial properties. Helichrysum oil is also known for reducing scars, and stimulating cell growth. Use sparingly, this oil has a potent herbal aroma.

Rose Otto Oil

This form of rose oil is made from freshly bloomed roses. It’s powerful moisturizing and antibacterial properties make it perfect for mature, aging skin. Floral aromatic notes are retained in this oil. High in antioxidants, this oil promotes skin cell turnover for a glowing finish.

Frankincense Oil

This ancient essential oil has been used for centuries. Perfect for damaged and irritated skin, this oil has a woodsy aroma. Frankincense oil is cleansing, and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Creating your Blend

Ingredients:

- 0.5-1 Gram 25% Pure Gold CBD Oil

- 1 oz Carrier Oil

- 1-2 Drops Essential Oil

Other Supplies:

- Glass tincture container with eyedropper

- Stir stick or spoon

Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to mix them together. Mix your carrier oil and essential oils first, use a stir spoon, or shake it in a tightly sealed container. We recommend using a glass container with an eyedropper for storing your serum to avoid toxins that can be released from plastic. Test out this blend to ensure it is what you want. Then, add the CBD oil.

CBD oil is very heavy, it will sink to the bottom of your mixture. Seal the container tightly, and shake well. You may notice the CBD oil sticks together in particles. Continue to shake the mixture intermittently until well mixed. Check the particles as you progress, the particles will not break down completely during this time. However, you can test out your mixture, if you like.

Allow the serum to sit overnight, by the morning the particles will have broken down more and you will have a consistent blend. Shake well before each use, and enjoy!
