Homemade Sugar Scrub Recipe – Citrus Coconut
A luxurious and natural way to exfoliate and moisturize your skin, with coconut oil, sugar and essential oils.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup white sugar (anything but brown sugar is fine, it absorbs the liquid and becomes as hard as a rock!)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup other carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, grapeseed, olive)
- 6–10 drops of your preferred essential oil (see list above picture, where to buy high quality essential oils)
- OPTIONAL – to add some color (like for Valentine’s Day or Christmas), add some cherry juice or beet powder
- 8 oz. glass jar – brown amber with black lid, clear with gold top (more pricey but pretty), mason jar with hinged lid
Instructions
Soften the coconut oil over the stove or in the microwave – 10-15 seconds should be enough. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Spoon into a glass container (essential oils eat through plastic and destroy it, unless it’s PETE or HDPE plastic).
