🌿 DIY Coconut Sugar Scrub
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
A few drops of vanilla or lavender essential oil (optional)
Instructions:
Melt the coconut oil slightly until soft but not hot.
Mix with sugar until it forms a gritty paste.
Add your essential oil drops if desired.
Store in a small jar and use as a gentle exfoliating scrub for hands, feet, or lips.
✨ Why it works: The sugar removes dead skin cells, while coconut oil deeply nourishes, leaving skin soft and smooth.
⚠️ Safety Precautions
Coconut oil may clog pores for some skin types, always patch test first.
Be careful using coconut products in the shower, oil can make surfaces slippery.
People with coconut allergies should avoid topical or internal use.
