Pink Lemonade Brown Sugar Hand Scrub
I am so hard on my hands. Between all the hand washing, dish washing, house cleaning, and DIYing, my hands take a beating.
I am really good at moisturizing my hands. But exfoliating them a few times a week is such a great way to pamper your hands, make them look great, and keep the moisturizer working well.
Using a hand scrub doesn't take a long time (you can easily do it after you wash dishes) and it can make a huge difference in your hands.
This hand scrub recipe makes my hands super soft and helps my lotion absorb into them better too.

Is scrubbing good for your hands?
Using a hand scrub on your hands is wonderful! It helps to exfoliate dead skin cells which leaves your skin feeling so soft and smooth! And because the dead skin cells are gone, your lotion or moisturizer will absorb and work better. So yes, if you like soft, moisturized hands, scrubbing is great for them.
Will this hand scrub leave my hands feeling oily?
I get it. I have used many hand scrubs that leave my hands feeling oily and like I need to wash them 10 times to get them feeling clean. Yuck. I hate that feeling.
Well this brown sugar hand scrub recipe has the addition of castile soap to it and so my hands are left feeling soft and smooth and clean, not oily! yay!
Where can I use this brown sugar hand scrub?
Well, traditionally a hand scrub would be used on your hands. However, you really can use this anywhere on your body! Brown sugar is gentle enough to be used everywhere, including your face, yet scrubby enough for your hands and feet. But I love this particular recipe for my hands!
Why do you add essential oils to your hand scrub?
I love adding essential oils to hand scrubs because they can add both wonderful scents and have therapeutic benefits as well. This brown sugar hand scrub contains Young Living's Valor and Lemon essential oils. And the combo of them smells just like Pink Lemonade!
I love to use this to exfoliate, refresh, and cleanse my hands any time of day.
