Easy hand sugar scrub

  • 2 cups Turbinado sugar (for a more gentle scrub, use brown sugar instead)
  • ½ cup unrefined, organic coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons raw, organic honey
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract, or your favorite essential oil

Add sugar and honey to a bowl and mix well to combine. Add coconut oil and stir until sugar mixture is well-coated. Add in vanilla or essential oil. Place into an airtight jar for storage. Stir before using as oil will settle in the jar.

Almond and honey scrub

  • Handful of raw and unsalted organic almonds
  • ½ teaspoon raw, organic honey
  • Coconut milk as needed

Grind the handful of almonds into a fine powder and place into a small bowl. Add the ½ teaspoon of honey and just enough milk to make a smooth paste. This mixture cannot be stored, so just make enough to use for one application.
