I have absolutely LOVED making these super simple DIY beauty products! They are absolutely divine, take only seconds to make and you can use things that you already have in your home!
Since the holidays are coming up I chose a peppermint sugar scrub made with coconut oil for it's sweet scent and the therapeutic properties of peppermint essential oil. Peppermint is awakening and invigorating so this is a perfect scrub for your morning shower (wait, what's that?!). If you want a more relaxing scrub you can substitute lavender or peace and calming instead. It is incredibly easy to adapt this recipe and come up with some amazing scrub creations. Feel free to play around with the type of sugar you use as some have thicker grains, the essential oils you add, and the different carrier oils. Get creative and share your recipes! All of these ingredients can be purchased at your local grocery store or online, and your finished product will cost a fraction of what you would pay in stores. Even better, it will be free of any toxins or chemicals found in commercial products!
Here's what you'll need:
~ Mixing bowl
~ Glass Jars
~ Mixing Spoon
~ 2 cups of Sugar
~ 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil
Here's what we did:
In a large mixing bowl we added 2 cups of Imperial sugar (I bought organic sugar but found this bag in the pantry and thought "what the heck?!") and topped with the coconut oil and 12 drops of Young Living's Peppermint essential oil and mixed to incorporate. It took about 30 seconds to mix the ingredients evenly. Then place in jars to enjoy later or give as a fabulous and thoughtful gift!
