Ocean Spa Homemade Brown Sugar Scrub Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown sugar (Coarse sugar will give you a coarser scrub and fine sugar will give you fine scrub)
- 1 cup solid (but soft) coconut oil
- Extra additions (vanilla extract, essential oils if available)
Instructions
Whip together the sugar, oil, and additives until the mixture looks creamy. You may use a food processor or simply use a bowl to mix, do not process too long, this will cause coconut oil to melt and the mixture will separate. If this happens, place it in the freezer for a few minutes to solidify and mix again.
