DIY Coconut Sugar Scrub



I took a class at Handcraft Bodycare yesterday and one of the things we made was a coconut body scrub...it was simple to make, smells divine and my skin is super soft and yummy smelling after using it. I must admit, it tastes good too. Here's the recipe for you:

  • 6 tablespoons of course brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of fine white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of ground coconut
  • 5 drops of coconut fragrance oil
  • 1 teaspoon of vitamin E oil
  • Enough grape seed oil to cover the mixture and still leave about a 1/4 of an inch of oil on top. The amount of oil will vary depending on your taste. Some people like their scrubs very dry and others prefer more oil.
Mix all the dry ingredients in the pot you will store it in and then add the oil last. Enjoy!

  1. Where do you get the ground coconut?

  2. You can get it in the baking section of the supermarket. Just put it in a coffee grinder to grind it up a little bit more if it's in the long stringy form.
