Instructions
- Combine the two sugars in a bowl and mix to incorporate. Add coconut oil and vitamin e and stir to combine. I find this to be easiest to do with my hands! Add a few drops of essential oils, if desired, for added scent.
- Store in an airtight jar for a year. If it's been a while, stir the sugar scrub before using (the oils will settle when not being used).
Notes
Melt: Microwave the coconut oil, which is solid at room temperature, until just liquified, but not hot, for easier mixing. Start with 10 to 15 seconds, and then add to the sugar mixture with vitamin E oil as directed.
Face or Lip Scrub: For delicate skin like your face or lips, I recommend using only granulated sugar for a finer, less harsh, sugar scrub.
