Honey Sugar Scrub
A great exfoliant scrub that also tastes delicious.
Yield: 1 ounce (approximately)
Equipment
- Bowl
- Measuring tools
- Mixing fork or food processor
- Container for finished product
Materials
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Oil (Coconut works best)
- 1 tsp Honey
- Fragrence of choice (use something skin-safe and preferably edible)
Instructions
- Gather all your materials together. Any sugar will work (besides powdered), but I am partial to using organic or brown sugar. Also, any type of oil will work- coconut is usually used because it is solid at room temperature. For fragrance, I used Rejuvenique oil by Monat, since it both smells great and is awesome for the skin.
- Mix all ingredients together until completely incorporated. I find that a fork works well. If doing a large batch, a food processor can mix the ingredients very well. Just be sure not to mix too long or the friction will cause the coconut oil to melt. The scrub will still work, it just may separate.
- Now put your new scrub into a container- mason jars or baby food jars work perfectly. Note that this recipe will make about an ounce of scrub, so to fill most containers you will need to make a larger batch.
- Enjoy and try not to eat it all!
Notes
For fragrance, it is really to preference. I used 8 drops of Rejuvenique oil to my batch, but a stronger oil (like peppermint) may only need one drop. Start small, and add until it's to your liking. Experiment with it!
For an easy start if you're looking to make a large batch: use 2 cups sugar, 1 cup oil, and about a quarter cup honey.
