Homemade Body Scrub
This natural homemade body scrub is made with coconut oil, sugar, and essential oils to exfoliate and moisturize your skin, leaving it silky soft and smooth.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar (white, brown, or mixture of both; fine-grain salt can be substituted)
- 1/2 cup oil (coconut or olive oil are good choices)
- 5-7 drops essential oil (optional; lavender or lemon are great!)
Instructions
- Add sugar and coconut oil to a small bowl and mix until smooth.
- Add essential oil and mix well.
- Spoon mixture into glass container with tight-fitting lid.
To use
- Scoop some out with a spoon (don’t dip your wet hands in the jar!), and scrub away all that dry, dead skin.
- Then rinse with warm water, and pat dry. Your skin will literally feel like silk!
Notes
Warning:
Oil-based body scrubs will leave your tub or shower floor slippery. Use caution when entering/exiting the tub, and clean the tub very well after each use. A simple paste of baking soda and liquid soap will cut the grease and clean the tub perfectly.
