Divide your sugar mixture into two equal sized portions.

Ingredients (makes 2 1/2 cups body scrub)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (or other carrier oil)
- 1/4 cup almond oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp all spice
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- Mason-style jar with lid
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (You can use up to 1/2 cup if you want your scrub to have a more coarse, sand-like texture.)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (I use Trader Joe’s organic virgin coconut oil.)
- Optional>> 1 tablespoon citrus fruit zest (The zest from one piece of fruit.) (I’ve tried grapefruit, lemon, and orange.) OR
- Optional>> About 1/2 teaspoon of citrus essential oil (about 50 drops) (I’ve tried certified organic grapefruit, lemon, and orange essential oils.)
Directions
- Combine all ingredients. (Unlike my homemade coconut oil lotions, I do not recommend heating the coconut oil prior to mixing, because hot oil will dissolve the sugar.)
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup Raw Sugar
up to 1/4 Olive Oil or Coconut Oil melted (or almond oil) as needed
1 tablespoon dried Lavender (optional but recommended)
3-4 drops DoTerra Lavender Essential Oil
Directions: Mix together the sugars and slowly add the coconut or almond oil while stirring. Pour in as much oil as you need to get your desired consistency. I do not like my sugar scrubs too oily so I always use less than 1/4 cup. Stir and mix thoroughly. Stir in the essential oil and the Lavender. Store in an airtight container. Lasts up to 3 months if you keep bacteria and germs out of the scrub.
To use: Rub a little bit of the scrub on your body or between your hands with a little bit of water. Rinse with warm water to remove excess oils. It will give your skin a nice exfoliation and leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and smelling like Lavender. Great for use in the shower or bath and before bed time.
