This Sugar Hand Scrub is made with 2 ingredients: sugar and liquid soap! Makes your hands feel soft and smooth and it helps remove grime too!
Alrighty, are you ready for spa week recipe two? This recipe is for a simple, DIY Sugar Hand Scrub. This hand scrub idea comes from Jill’s Gardner’s Hand Scrub at One Good Thing by Jillee. It only includes two ingredients: sugar and liquid soap! This hand scrub will not only make your hands feel soft and smooth, it can help remove grime from your hands! This would also make a great Christmas gift!
I used 4-ounce jelly jars, granulated sugar, and Dial body wash. I chose this body wash because it is blue as well as antibacterial, but any body wash or dish soap can be used.
Place 1/4 cup plus one tablespoon of granulated sugar in the jar.
Top with about two tablespoons of liquid soap.
Slowly mix the sugar and soap together.
The result is a grainy, shimmery mixture.
Attach "hand scrub" labels with craft glue. You can download the free hand scrub printable HERE.
Attach directions using craft glue. You can download the free hand scrub directions printable HERE.
I am not sure how long this will last because this is my first time making it, but since the soap I used is antibacterial, I think it should last fairly well!

Great idea, and simple. I can’t wait to try this, since my hands are like the Sahara Desert, and I have a hard time finding products that will moisturize. With the number of times a day when hand-washing is required, I’m looking for something simple, effective and something that’s not cost-prohibitive. This is most definitely worth trying!

I’m going to make this tomorrow for my first Plant Swap!
The gardeners are going to LOVE it!
Thank you so much!

I made this today as a trial run. I made it with the pink Himalayan Dial soap. It came out very light pink so I tried one drop food color..perfect. A nice bright pink. Than I scrubbed my hands with it and the little bit of dye used it does NOT stain your hands. The smell was lovely and not overpowering. Next I am going to make it with a dial creamier soap and see how it come out. I did buy a small pkg of 6 fragrent body essential oils for an added fragrence if needed. These are for my Bunko game gifts for my Spa Bunco.

Awww…thanks so much Cindy! You made my day! I spent my Saturday evening alone doing a foot soak and scrub using some of the items I’ve made and it was blissful. I turned the lights down and lit some pumpkin spice candles. My feet and my hands feel soft and smooth…plus I got to relax while my husband was out with our kids!

My idea of a perfect evening.

How can I make my own labels like those ones because I have a bubble gum flavoured scrub not maple brown sugar and I want to put it in my jar

Wow this is such a smart and cute diy! Definitely trying this! Do you think that you could put a drop of food coloring in to change its color? Would that work?

Tonia says
Yes, you can put a little food coloring in. You can also substitute a different soap to get a different color. Best of luck! ~Tonia

This is perfect for my daughter’s spa birthday party! Would you by any chance have a printable of the frame only, without the words “hand scrub”? That way I could print “Bella’s Spa” on it. I would so apreciate it!!

Hi Patricia,
Sounds like fun! Tell your daughter Happy Birthday! Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzzc0kU7BM6FUEExSk5DNUhIWVU/view?usp=sharing
It is only one label so you will have to resize and duplicate it either with a free photo editing program or using your printer settings.
