Tips to Make Turmeric Scrub

  • Store this in an air-tight container but use quickly (can be stored in the refrigerator for a remarkable experience).
  • I like to use this turmeric sugar scrub in the shower and not the bath because turmeric can stain some tubs.
  • Both sugars are great for exfoliating and the almond and vitamin E oils are natural moisturizers. The anti-inflammatory properties in the turmeric powder will soothe your skin.
  • To use, wet your skin with warm water and apply the turmeric sugar body scrub and rub into the skin in a circular motion. Rinse the scrub off with warm water and gently pat dry with a towel. Then, apply your favorite skin moisturizer to seal in the moisture.

  1. Can you make this into sugar scrub cubes? if so, would it be as simple as adding a soap base? What amount?

    1. Hi there, Tanya – just seeing this now as I was on vacation. Yes, you can add soap base, but might have to tweak the oil by leaving out the Vitamin E (there is more than enough in the 1/4 cup almond oil).
