Coconut Sugar All Purpose Scrub

Coconut Sugar All Purpose Scrub: 20140125-121310.jpg

I have been OBSESSED with coconut oil lately.

I've been making facial cleansers, conditioning hair masks and you guessed it, scrubs.

Here's my favorite coconut sugar all purpose scrub recipe:

1 Cup Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil

1 Cup Sugar (granulated or brown)

1 Tablespoon Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

*2 Drops Sandalwood Essential Oil

*1 Drop Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

*Note- You can use other essential oils or choose to omit them altogether. I happen love the earthy sweet aroma of sandalwood and ylang ylang in a scrub.

**You will need a shatter proof container. I usually use glass, but if I'm making something for the shower, I steer clear of it. Soapy hands are unreliable and nobody wants to step on shards of glass in the shower- ouch!

Here's what you do:

I use this scrub on both my body and face. It leaves your skin baby soft and smelling so good!
