DIY Rose & Lavender Body Scrub | Love-A-Dub-Scrub [Valentines Day Gift Idea] Wednesday 08 February, 2017
It’s time to stop and smell the roses and use them in a natural body scrub! I love a great body scrub. I have been trying to make my own DIY body scrubs and I created a cute a romantic inspired one just in time for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday and this is a great gift to give to a friend or love for that special day. Oh and please feel free to use this scrub way after the holiday. Its all natural, smells great and amazing for your skin!
You will need these simple ingredients: Dried Roses, Lavender Buds, 2 cups of Sugar, Rose Hip Oil and a Container to keep it in.
I bought these dried flower from Sprout, but feel free to use your own dried flowers (just sit it out in the sun for a few days). These dried flowers need to be blended well. You can use a regular blender, or if you have a blender attachment such as a spice/coffee grinder even better. I grinded my flowers in the Ninja Duo Blender with the Grinder Attachement. Grind until they are fine rose particles.
- Dried Roses
- Lavender Buds
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
- 2 Cups of Sugar
- 6 Drops of Rosehip Oil
- Place 2 cups of sugar in a large bowl. Add your lavender buds, Grind your dried roses in a blender or coffee grinder. Add the grinded roses to the mixtures. Incorporate your 1/2 cup of coconut oil. Mix everything together with a whisk. Add your drops of rose hip oil. Whisk all together.
- Scoop ingredients add put them into an air tight container.
Where to get the air tight glass scrub jars? The Container Store click the link here.
This is the finished product. Very simple body scrub recipe to make. Roses are the universal flower of love, but they are also actually very good on your body. This smells amazing as well, it will put you in the loving mood. So gift this to your partner, friend or heck yourself! Who doesn’t want to be pampered with some scrub-loving? Get your shower or bathwater ready for a romantic night in or scrub it up right before your hot date! So if you are looking for a last minute romantic gift idea please consider this Love-A-Dub-Scrub. Roses are red, but they are also great in this body scrub. Try it!
Also this is a great idea if you get roses whether its from V-day or any other special occasion, save those roses and create this scrub!

This looks so good. I am one who enjoys scrubs. Do you think there is a difference between using brown or white sugar in regards to exfoliation?
Yay, I have some roses from yesterday that I am going to dry so I can make this. I bet it smells soooo good.
When I went to my first blogging convention, we played around with making our own body scrub. I was truly impressed with the entire process and was suppose to be trying something new in creating something for myself. I will definitely try this out.. I would like something soothing with lavender or something. I must play around. Thanks for sharing and motivating me to get to it….
I am actually thinking about trying this! My daughter also thinks its a good idea!
My sister is into essential oils and she makes scrubs. Im going to share this one with her, Im sure it smells divine!!
I love the pics of your srub. I know my allergies wouldn’t be able to tolerate the roses but maybe I can tolerate something like lavender.
I wasn’t a fan of roses (I’m still not at the ones here in the US) until I traveled to Morocco. They were so fragment and sweet. I’m going to have to ask my sister to make this fir me.
I’ve never thought to make my own scrub before. This looks like it smells divine!
I’ve always wanted to make my own body scrub and you’ve made it easy and possible. I might give it a try this weekend.
I love how simple this recipe is, only 5 ingredients! I love bath salts and this one looks great!
