Homemade Body Scrub
This Homemade Body Scrub is a luxurious, all-natural treatment that exfoliates and nourishes your skin. Made with simple ingredients like sugar and coconut oil, it gently removes dead skin cells while moisturizing your skin for a soft, silky feel. Customize your scrub with your favorite essential oils for a refreshing scent and additional skin benefits.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cane sugar white, brown, or mixture of both; fine-grain salt can be substituted
- ½ cup coconut oil or olive oil
- 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.
