Avocado Sugar Scrub DIY – Rich In Vitamin E
I made this avocado sugar scrub while fixing an avocado toast sandwich.
As I cut the avocado into two and spooned one half onto my toast, I thought it was too much between two bread slices.
So instead, I used one-fourth on my toast and thought, hmm… How about an avocado sugar scrub?
Then I went to work, mashing, mixing, and adding more sugar until I got the consistency I liked.
That’s how I came about the avocado sugar scrub, and I’ll show you how to make it today.
Make sure you read to the end to print out a recipe copy.
Let’s get started.
How To Make Avocado Sugar Scrub
You only need two ingredients to make this moisturizing avocado sugar scrub. Still, you can add extra olive or coconut oil.
But Summer is almost here, and you don’t want too much oil on your skin.
Because your skin will produce lots of it as the weather warms up.
Ingredients to make DIY avocado scrub
- 1/4 or 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 or 1 cup of sugar
- 1/4 or 1/2 cup olive oil (optional)
Tools
- A medium mason jar with a lid
- A fork
Steps to make it
- Add the avocado to a small or medium mason jar, then mash it with a fork.
- I prefer to mash the avocado in the jar because it is easier and blends better with the sugar.
- Next, pour your sugar into the jar and mix with the fork until everything is well blended.
- Your avocado sugar scrub is ready for use. Store in the fridge and use within 2 to 3 days.

How to use the DIY avocado sugar scrub
- Before getting in the shower, ensure your scrub is in the bathroom.
- Wash your skin first before applying exfoliants, whether homemade or drugstore.
- Then dab the water on your skin but leave it damp before applying the avocado scrub all over your body.
- This scrub contains rich, moisturizing avocado oil and the exfoliating benefits of sugar. Thus, you’re exfoliating and moisturizing your skin at the same time—a win-win.
- After scrubbing your whole body, let it sit for several minutes before rinsing off under the shower.
- Then dry your body and apply a very light moisturizer afterward.
- Your skin would feel supple and soft, and you’d be ready to rock your shorts and mini dresses this Summer.
Benefits of avocado to the skin
- Avocado contains biotin, so it soothes dry skin when applied topically.
- It also reduces breakouts because of its anti-microbial properties.
- It contains vitamin E, which protects your skin from sun rays.
- Using avocado on the skin enhances its elasticity.
A few things to know about this DIY avocado scrub recipe
- I made this avocado sugar scrub recipe with Summer in mind.
- That’s why I didn’t add extra oil.
- But during Fall and winter, your skin needs more moisturizing because of the dry air. So feel free to add oil to your avocado scrub.
- I think olive oil works best with avocado.
- Also, use this DIY avocado scrub within a few days of preparation because it will turn brown after a few hours.
- Most fruit scrubs get contaminated quickly. That’s why making and using them on the same day is best.
- But regular sugar scrubs with just oil and sugar may last longer.

Conclusion
Boom! That’s how to make a DIY avocado sugar scrub to treat your skin this Summer.
So, instead of using half an avocado on your toast, use a quarter and the other for your scrub.
The other half of the avocado would be split between my next toast and maybe a salad.
