DIY COCONUT GINGER SUGAR SCRUB
A sugar scrub is a great way to exfoliate and moisturize your skin. It can be used as often as you prefer, but make sure you listen to your skin! I prefer to use mine 1-2 times a week, but if you sense any irritation it might be best to use it less. It’s really up to you!
What You’ll Need:
1 cup of sugar in the raw
1/3 cup of coconut oil
1/4 of cold pressed oil–I used sunflower seed oil because I had a stash of it, but any oil would work (olive, almond, vegetable, etc.)
2 tsp. ground ginger
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut oil and ginger and heat for 5 minutes until melted.
Allow the mixture to cool.
Add your oil to the mixture and stir.
Pour the raw sugar in as well and mix until all the sugar has blended into the scrub.
Empty your contents into a jar with a lid and either use immediately or seal and save for later.
How to use a sugar scrub:
Open your jar and stir the scrub. The oils will naturally come to the top, so it’s great to get it stirred back into a uniform consistency.
Scoop a little into your hand and add just a bit of water to make it easier to smooth on.
Use a bath pouf or wash cloth and scrub it onto your skin.
Once you have covered your body go ahead and rinse it off. (Use caution in the shower because the bottom of your tub can get very slippery!)
Pat dry with a towel.
That’s it!
