DIY Tattoo Scrub Recipes
I have chosen to post these particular recipes because they are tried and test, simple to make and do not require any fancy cosmetic ingredients.
Simple Sugar Scrub Recipe
Some people might use salt (we have a recipe below for that) to replace sugar and that’s perfectly fine too. However, sugar is a smooth particle (microscopically) as opposed to salt, which has sharp and jagged edges. Due to this, sugar scrubs can be used twice a week, while the more abrasive salt scrubs should only be used once in the same week.
Directions for Mixing Scrub Ingredients
Clean and dry your airtight container (I use airtight storage containers because of how versatile it is for storing food and organizing the pantry/kitchen when I am done with the scrubs) or use a new ziplock bag.
How Long Do These DIY Scrubs Keep For?
If kept in an airtight container in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, these keep for around 1 month (or more). But make sure that they are away from humidity or moisture and to avoid having water go in the scrub. Using a spoon or scoop is ideal, it will minimize any chance of water dripping in from wet hands.
