Green Tea Sugar Scrub Bars DIY for summer skin


Hi Reader,

Summer has a way of asking a lot from your skin — sun, heat, chlorine, salt water, sweat, you name it. Lately, I've been leaning back into green tea. It's one of those ingredients that just quietly does its job, no fuss, no fancy packaging required.

A few reasons I keep coming back to it:

  • Rich in antioxidants that may help support healthy-looking skin
  • Traditionally used to calm and soothe overheated or irritated skin
  • Naturally refreshing, which makes it feel extra good in the summer months
  • Gentle enough for regular use without stripping your skin

I put all of that into my Green Tea Sugar Scrub Bars — a simple bar you can use right in the shower to buff away rough spots on your feet and elbows without any mess.

And you can add your favorite essential oil to it!

A couple of my favorite essential oil pairings for summer:

  • Peppermint — cooling and refreshing, perfect for hot days
  • Grapefruit or sweet orange — bright, citrusy, fresh. (don't use right before going out in the sun as it's photosensitive)
