I totally fell in love with the color of this grapefruit sugar scrub recipe, it looks so soothing, fresh and summerlike.

This Grapefruit Sugar Scrub Recipe calls for fresh grapefruit juice and beet juice because this can spoil the scrub easily, you will need to keep it in the fridge and use it within a few days.

Grapefruit is a great astringent, meaning it will shrink pores. It also has exfoliating properties that are perfect for oily or acne-prone skin.

It is also rich in antioxidants and vitamins! I’ve used 1 whole grapefruit (peeled) and it gives a nice salmon pink color to the scrub.

Also, I changed the proportion of oil vs sugar so it has the right constituency without the use of the juice. I’ve also added some dried orange peel to increase the exfoliation.

  Hi Swathi, you would have to make it as you go so it does not spoil. Otherwise, you would need chemical preservatives like Germaben II. read this https://www.organic-beauty-recipes.com/top-3-natural-preservatives-diy-beauty/
