•• DIY Sugar Scrub ••







Welcome back, friends! Today, I decided to post about one of my favorite products - sugar scrub! I absolutely love sugar scrub, mostly because it makes my skin feel crazy soft, and it's an entirely natural product. However, buying sugar scrub from the store really breaks my wallet. Buying sugar scrub from Lush costs $10.95, and that's only for 0.8oz! So naturally, I decided to make my own sugar scrub that was both cheap and used some of my favorite products - Doterra's Essential Oils. Here is my recipe for the easiest, cheapest, best sugar scrub:

What You Will Need:
- Coconut oil
- Sugar
- Doterra Essential Oil (whatever scent you want - I used Wild Orange because that's my husband's favorite scent)
- A jar or container that can hold up to 1 cup of product



Instructions:
1. Microwave 2 tablespoons of coconut oil - about 30 seconds should do it. You will want the oil to be completely melted.

2. Pour 1/2 a cup of sugar into the coconut oil and stir until well combined. It should look something like this:




3. Finally, add between 4-8 drops of Essential Oils to your mixture - feel free to choose whatever scent you want! I chose Wild Orange because it's my husband's favorite and it's a refreshing, summery scent.


4. After you have mixed together your sugar scrub, you will need to put it in a jar or container. I had an adorable candle from Target that I had burned down to the bottom so I just used that to hold my sugar scrub. Here's what it looked like:


5. Put the lid on and you are ready to use your brand new, homemade sugar scrub! I made a label out of scrapbook paper I had at home, which is the picture you can see at the top of this post.






There you have it! This is my recipe for easy, homemade sugar scrub...give it a try and let me know what you think of it and what scents you decided to use. Good luck!
