This pine sugar scrub is not only incredibly exfoliating but also smells amazing like a fresh forest breeze. Plus, it’s completely homemade, super natural, and has a gorgeous earthy-green color that makes it perfect for gifting.
Now, I have to admit, before making this scrub, I had one big question: Where do you even get pine needles?
I actually considered ordering them from Etsy or Amazon (yep, I was that close), but then I asked my husband, and he told me that we literally live near a bunch of beautiful pine trees. 🤦♀️ Turns out, nature was supplying me with everything I needed all along.
Of course, you can order pine needles online or buy them, although they’re not the easiest to find. Honestly, it all depends on what’s more convenient for you

- 1 cup sugar (white or brown)
- 1 tablespoon fresh pine needles, finely chopped or blended
- 20 drops pine essential oil
Instructions:
1. Mix the Oils
Add your pine essential oil to the carrier oil and stir.
2. Combine with Sugar
Pour the oil mixture into your sugar and mix until fully combined.
3. Add the Pine Needles
Chop or blend your pine needles into tiny pieces, then fold them into the sugar mixture.
4. Store & Enjoy:
Scoop your scrub into a jar and get ready for the most refreshing at-home spa treatment ever!
Notes:
- Any carrier oil will work. For a more powerful pine scrub, make pine needle infused oil and use that!
How to Use Pine Needle Sugar Scrub:
Massage a small amount onto damp skin, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and hands. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Your skin will feel super soft, and you’ll smell like a peaceful walk through the pines.
Trust me, once you try this scrub, you’ll never look at pine trees the same way again. 😉
