I usually use lemon, sugar, honey, and cucumber scrub for my skin. In a few days I'm going on a vacation and I need the scrub every morning.
I would store in the refrigerator because of the cucumber.
Use a mason jar for transport and wrap it in a hand towel, wrapped in t-shirts for safety until you get there.
I just made a DIY oatmeal face mask and I was wondering if I should store it in my refrigerator or in the cabinet with the rest of my beauty products. The masks I made only contains honey, lemon juice, oatmeal, and water.
Since you have lemon juice in it, I would keep it in the fridge.
The challenge is honey gets wonky in the fridge, so be aware
that it will crystallize--think of it as an exfoliator:) .
My suggestion is to make your recipe for a single use "serving" so to speak so it is always fresh and safe.
I know that is not time efficient, but it is healthier and can be less wasteful in the long run.
Blessings!
I do not think you have to refrigerate this
How can I preserve a homemade facial scrub with a main ingredient of Moringa oliefera, also known as malunggay, in combination with honey and lime? And how long would it take?

I'm not familiar with those ingredients. But, I make scrubs and just make a months worth at a time and keep it in the fridge. It lasts longer that way.
I would store it in the refrigerator and make in small quantities.
I have made some exfoliating sugar scrub with foaming bath butter. Would anyone know how long this will last? I go away on holiday in two weeks and made two tubs of medium size. I have put them in the fridge for now; would they last for a month? Many thanks.

Butter and sugar both, can be frozen. Freeze it. When you come back, let one thaw, use it up before thawing the other. Always keep refrigerated when not frozen.
