Take charge of your beauty!
Many of us are so overloaded with daily responsibilities involving work, friends, and family that we often forget to take care of ourselves, especially our skin. It’s so important to keep our skin looking fresh and glowing, and one of the easiest way to do so is a body scrub! Store-bought body scrubs can go for as high as $40 our body scrub is just as good and 100% organic. Homemade body scrubs are not only cheaper, but they are completely toxin free because you know exactly what’s going in them! Not only is the process easy and quick, but you already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen at home! Plus, this DIY body scrub lasts for weeks!
What you need:
coconut oil
vitamin E oil
brown sugar or salt
essence oil (we recommend eucalyptus and lavendar )
one large bowl
What to do:
Combine 2-3 scoops of coconut oil with 2-3 drops of vitamin E oil, 1-2 drops of essence, and a handful of brown sugar in the large bowl. Just mix everything until it is evenly combined, and there you have it! Easy homemade body scrub! The great thing about this body scrub recipe is that you can eyeball everything depending on your own preferences. So if you want your scrub to be super exfoliating, add some more sugar or if you want it to be more moisturizing, add more coconut oil! Make it your own!
How to use:
When you finish making the body scrub, you can store it in any room temperature area. Just rub the body scrub during a shower or hand wash for 3-4 minutes on any parts of your body that need extra love and exfoliation! Then rinse it off and pat your skin dry with a towel. This is great for bums and thighs!
Gift it!
Handmade gifts are the best because it shows the other person that you’ve spent time and effort to create it. You can dress up your body scrub in a mason jar and tie it with a small bow and even write a label on it! Super cute, easy, and thoughtful!
