Steps: DIY Korean Candy Scrub

Spoon Measurement Terms

In some of our articles, and for non-liquid ingredients, we use the measurements ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’, to measure the quantity of ingredients, rather than precise measurements in grams or ounces. This is because adding a little more or less of the ingredient does not affect the final product. Both tablespoons and teaspoons follow these guidelines. Here’s a brief explanation of these terms:

• One Spoon: Fill the ingredient in a measuring spoon, leveling it with a straight edge.
• Rounded Spoon: More than a level measurement, with the ingredient piled above the spoon’s edge in a rounded shape.
• Heaped Spoon: The non-liquid ingredient is scooped as high as possible on a spoon.

In the steps below, we will make the DIY Korean Candy Scrub in the shape of small balls, each weighing 20 grams (0.70 oz).

1- Start by putting 3/4 cup (125 grams or 4.41 oz) of sugar powder in a large bowl.

2- Add one heaped teaspoon (6 grams or 0.21 oz) of corn flour.

3- Add 1.5 heaped teaspoons (8 grams or 0.28 oz) of xanthan gum.

4- With a teaspoon, mix the three ingredients rigorously until you achieve a uniform, powdery texture, ensuring there are no clumps remaining.

5- Add two teaspoons (10 grams or 0.35 oz) of polysorbate 80.

6- Add three teaspoons (11.9 grams or 0.42 oz) of coco betaine.

Now the Fun Begins: Kneading the Mix and Making the Balls

7- Using a teaspoon, make sure to mix thoroughly the liquid ingredients with the powdery ingredients. This will prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands when you knead the contents later on.

8- Add some mica color powder. Here, I am using red.

9- Mix the color powder with a teaspoon.

10- With your hands, work and knead the contents. Pick up some, rub them between your palms, then knead them thoroughly in the bowl.

11- Add ten drops of fragrance oil. Here, I am using rose fragrance.

12- Continue working the mixture and kneading it with your hands, until you notice that when you squeeze a handful, it retains its shape.

13- When you achieve the previous step’s consistency, gather the mixture into a dough-like shape.

14- With your fingers, take out a piece of the dough-like shape, and squeeze it and shape it into a small scrub ball.

Check that the weight of the ball is about 20 grams (0.70 oz). Such a size of the DIY Korean Candy Scrub balls is good to use for the hands and legs. For scrubbing the body, you can make the ball 30 grams (1.05 oz).

Note: The quantities of ingredients we have used are enough to make eight scrub balls of 20 grams (0.70 oz) each.

15- When you finish rolling all the scrub balls, allow them to dry for 24 hours.

16- After the scrub balls have dried, store three or four of them in each container.

• One option: Sprinkle some granulated sugar in the container.
• Another option: Prepare a mix of almond oil and granulated sugar, and dip some scrub balls in to cover them.

Let’s Try It Out

17- Have a bowl of water ready.

18- Take one scrub ball, dampen it with water, and squash it between your palms while rubbing. Add more water as needed and continue rubbing until the scrub transforms into an elastic and stretchy texture. You can see this effect as you pull your palms apart.

19- Spread the scrub on your hands and exfoliate.

How To Use: DIY Korean Candy Scrub

Using your homemade DIY Korean Candy Body Scrub is a delightful experience that not only exfoliates but also brings a unique stretchy sensation to your skin. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making the most of this Elastic Marvel:

Step 1: Prepare Your Scrub Balls
Start with a warm shower or bath to soften your skin. Ensure that your body is clean and damp, as this will enhance the effectiveness of the scrub. Take one or two of the small candy scrub balls and place them in the palms of your hands.

Step 2: Squish and Squash
With some water, squish and squash the small balls between your palms. Continue working them until they start to develop into a stretchy, elastic consistency. This transformation is where the magic begins.

Step 3: Apply and Experience the Stretch
Begin applying the transformed DIY Korean Candy Body Scrub to your body in circular motions. As you massage it onto your skin, you’ll immediately notice the unique stretchy texture. This remarkable feature not only adds an element of fun to your skincare routine but also allows the scrub to adhere more effectively, providing a thorough exfoliation experience.

Step 4: Massage with Care
Gently massage the scrub into your skin, paying special attention to rough or dry areas. Enjoy the sensation of the scrub stretching and smoothing your skin’s surface.

Step 5: Rinse and Revel
After 2-3 minutes of massaging, rinse your body thoroughly with warm water. As you do, you’ll feel the residue of the scrub wash away, leaving behind a sense of renewed elasticity.

Step 6: Moisturize and Lock in the Goodness
Pat your skin dry with a clean towel and follow up with your preferred moisturizer. This will help lock in the benefits of the DIY Korean Candy Body Scrub and maintain your skin’s newfound elasticity.

Step 7: Scrub Routine
Use your DIY Korean Candy Body Scrub as needed, typically 1-2 times a week, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and needs. Over-exfoliating can lead to irritation, so listen to your body and enjoy the stretchy transformation it offers.
