How to make DIY sugar scrubs with berries
Before we begin, here’s what we’re going to make:
- Blackberry sugar scrub,
- blueberry sugar scrub,
- cranberry sugar scrub,
- raspberry sugar scrub and
- strawberry sugar scrub.
What you need
Ingredients
- Berries – strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries,
- Sugar – 1lb bag,
- Coconut oil (optional)
Tools
- Food processor or blender,
- Mason jars with lids,
- Twine or ribbon – if you’re gifting (twine makes it more homemade) and,
- Labels.
Directions
Since we have five different berries, make one berry sugar scrub at a time.
Follow the directions and change only the fruit for each recipe, except for the cranberry sugar scrub.
The recipe is linked.
- Blend your berries into a puree,
- then with a fork, mix one to two tablespoons of fruit puree with a cup of sugar.
- If you prefer a thinner berry sugar scrub, add more fruit puree.
- Or make your scrub thicker using only a tablespoon of the fruit.
- Then, transfer the berry sugar scrub into a mason jar and decorate it with a ribbon or twine.
If you are making this a gift, send it out immediately or use it within days.
This ensures your homemade berry scrub is fresh when you or your friends use it.

How to exfoliate your body with your DIY fruit sugar scrubs
- First, scoop your fruit scrub into a container you can use in the shower.
- This would keep the remaining scrub fresh.
- Next, shower to wash off oil and dirt from your body.
- Then dab your body with a towel, but leave it damp.
- Next, spread a generous amount of your favorite berry scrub all over your body and exfoliate gently.
- Leave it for several minutes; five to ten minutes is just fine.
- Then rinse completely with warm water.
- Dry your body, and use a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
- Now relax and enjoy your fresh, glowing skin.
Benefits of exfoliating your skin with DIY fruit sugar scrubs
- The berry seeds and sugar are natural exfoliants.
- So they help lift off dead skin to reveal a gorgeous layer of supple skin.
- Also, these sugar scrubs are rich in vitamin C – which brightens dark pigmentations on the skin.
- And if you add coconut oil to your recipe, you’ll get even more moisturizing benefits from these scrubs.

What is the shelf life of these scrubs and do they need to be refrigerated?
Hi Pam,
Fruit scrubs should be made and used up the same day or stored in the fridge for a couple of days.
I always prefer to make fruit sugar scrubs and use them up the same day.
Here are some scrubs with longer shelf life:

Also check the DIY sugar scrub archive for more recipes with oil instead of fruit or water.
Because scrubs with coconut oil or honey last longer than ones with fruits or water.
Hope this helps.
