Put your sugar in a large mixing bowl, then mix in the oil and vanilla extract.
Zest two lemons and add it to the mix. Juice one lemon and add that, too. Then just mix to combine!
30-45 second in the microwave on low power should do the trick, or heat it in a saucepan for a few minutes. You don’t want it boiling or anything – just warm enough to melt.
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 heaping Tablespoons of your favorite ground coffee
1-2 Tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice (blend of nutmeg, ginger, cloves and cinnamon)
3/4-1 cup oil, depending on how “wet” you like your body scrub (you want light oils without much of their own flavor or scent in this one, so it doesn’t overpower your other ingredients)
Whisk your sugar into a bowl and breaking it up to get rid of any large chunks.
Next, add in your ground coffee and spices. Mix this all together evenly before adding your oil.
Finally add in your oils. Mix everything together well and then scoop into an air tight container of your choosing.
1 Small Lemon
1 Small Lime
1 Cup Pure Cane Sugar
1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
1 Teaspoon Peppermint Essential Oil/Extract
Mint Leaves, lemon & lime peels (optional)
Combine the oil and all of the moist ingredients, then add the sugar and lemon and lime peels as a garnish, then stir.
1/4 cup carrier oil {Vitamin E, grapeseed oil, almond oil, olive oil}
1/2 c sugar
spearmint essential oil to your taste {I used 10 drops}
5 heads of lavender, pulled apart
Mix, add to your jar and enjoy! Keep in mind that lavender activates when rubbed/broken, so it will be more fragrant in the bath/shower.
a mason jar
coconut oil
raw cane sugar
almond or jojoba oil
and one fragrant rose
Start by putting a large scoop of coconut oil in the bottom of the jar.
Next, pluck your rose petals and put them into the jar on top of the coconut oil.
Add your raw sugar.
Add your almond or jojoba oil on top of the sugar.
Wait a minute for your oil to seep down to the flower petals and then top it off with a little more almond or jojoba oil.
Last but not least, put your lid on and let it sit so the oils can soak into the flower petals.
When you are ready to use it, take a spoon and mash it all up. The coarse sugar will break up the rose petals and they’ll continue to break up as you rub the scrub on your skin.
1 cup ground coffee
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp fresh ground cinnamon
Blend all of these ingredients together in an airtight container.
Use: Massage scrub over clean, damp skin; rinse and pat dry (you might want to use a little soap when rinsing if you don’t want too much oil left behind on your skin).
The scrub will keep for 2 months if kept in a cool, dry place.
5 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon
First mix the olive oil and sea salt together. Once the salt gets coated by the oil, the lemon won’t dissolve it! Next cut the lemon in half and squeeze over the salt + oil. Mix and mash.
