Before we start making the recipe, knowing about all the ingredients used and their benefits is essential, which helps you customize your blend while getting educated about their benefits.

Sweet almond oil has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated skin while reducing redness.
When mixed with other ingredients of the geranium sugar scrub, it helps in cell regeneration, one of the main factors contributing to youthful and healthy-looking skin.
2. Virgin Coconut Oil
In most households, raw coconut oil can be easily found. It is one of the most popular skin, hair, body, and food ingredients. Coconut oil plays a dynamic role in our lives.
We can easily add it to our sugar scrub and reap its benefits. It is packed with vitamin E and antioxidants, which help the skin fight free radicals and environmental stressors, improving the health and appearance of the skin.
3. Virgin Olive Oil
In ancient times, Greeks used virgin olive oil for dry skin and for their hair to add shine. Virgin olive oil has toning, hydrating, healing, and anti-oxidizing properties.
It strengthens the skin while retaining moisture. Virgin olive oil reduces stretch marks if applied continuously and frequently without letting the skin dry.
4. Blackcurrant Powder
Blackcurrant is known as a superfood for the skin. It gives the geranium sugar scrub a purple colour, making it appealing to the eyes.
Blackcurrant powder is also high in antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamin C, which helps with uneven skin tone and pigmentation.
