Brown Sugar Scrub

Are you guys ready for another Sugar Scrub? There is just something about the Summer Season right upon us that has me craving a good scrub. This Brown Sugar Scrub is actually a reposting of one of my very first Sugar Scrubs when I first started blogging.

My photo skills have come a long way since then. And I have been dying to make this scrub again and take better photos. I finally got around to doing it.

This recipe is really simple and I have found that my very favorite oil to use for scrubs is coconut oil. I did not know about coconut oil 3 years ago so I have made the change in the old recipe.

Brown Sugar Scrub:

1 cup Brown Sugar

1/4 cup Coconut Oil (melted)

Directions:

1. Mix together until thoroughly incorporated.

2. Store in an air tight container.

3. Good for up to 3 months.

You will thank me for you smooth, soft skin! Bring on summer!

Coconut Lime Sugar Scrub

77 Comments

With Mother’s Day this weekend, it’s time to start thinking about gifts for the special women in your lives. Now, I don’t know about you…but as a Mother myself, I prefer gifts that are of the pampering kind. I have been obsessed with using DoTerra Essential Oils and just got some Lime oil. It smells AMAZING! So…I made a Coconut Lime Sugar Scrub.

If you have been hanging around The Idea Room, you have been aware of my Sugar Scrub obsession. At the bottom of this post, I will share with you my entire collection of Sugar Scrubs so that you can take a look at them if you are interested.

Since my food allergy diagnosis, I have incorporated Coconut Oil as my main cooking/baking base and I am in LOVE with it. It is the perfect oil to use in this scrub because it has a slight scent and leaves the sugar a nice, crisp white. It also leaves your freshly scrubbed skin feeling soft and smooth.

Plus, the combination of Lime and Coconut scream summer, which we are totally looking forward to at our house. I also threw in some fresh grated coconut to give the scrub a little more texture.

You just might want to eat this stuff…which would totally be fine since everything is edible :)!

All you need is a cute jar and a label, which I am providing as a free download (see below for link) and you have a great gift for that special Mother or woman in your life. You will want to make a really big batch so you can keep some for yourself!

Or if you want to get really creative, you could gift your sugar scrub inside of a coconut shell after the fresh coconut meat has been removed. Then wrap it up with a cellophane wrapper and a cute little tag.

Lemon Sugar Scrub

I am still recovering from this last weekend. My feet are killing me. We did a lot of walking and running back and forth to make sure everything was running smoothly with the Snap Conference.

Me feet needed a little extra love and pampering. So I was excited to be able to use some of this amazing Lemon Sugar Scrub. I whipped it up a couple of weeks ago and have used it a couple of times but still had some left. Perfect!

It is so easy to make. Really! I simply took two cups of white granulated Sugar and mixed in a 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup Almond Oil (Coconut Oil will work too). Add the oil slowly till you have a nice soft consistency that is soft but not too oily. Then add a few drops of Lemon Essential Oil.
