Nailed It! : DIY: Sugar Scrub

What Pinterest Showed Me

Organic Sugar Scrub Tips ♥ * Always exfoliate before shaving to prevent irritation and achieve a better shave. * You may add more olive oil to your jar after packing if you desire a different consistency. * Oil will settle in the jar so stir before using. * I do not recommend using this scrub on your face. It is intended for use on the body only

Delicious Scrub Recipe * 1 cup organic cane sugar * 1/3 cup celtic sea salt * 1/2 cup organic coconut oil * 2-3 tablespoons almond oil * 1 tablespoon vitamin e * Lavender Essential Oil *

What I Did:

(Note: I basically disregarded everything Pinterest told me, because I can never get it right when I try doing what it tells me.)

Okay so this is what I did. It's really simple. I promise (:

Ingredients: Some good 'ole Pure Cane Sugar and Coconut Oil (That'd be the white stuff in the mason jar)

Place 1/2 tablespoon of Coconut Oil in a microwave safe bowl. Trust me when I say you do not need a whole cup like Pinterest tells you to use.

I'm sure you saw this coming. Microwave the oil for about 10 seconds to soften it up a bit.

Eh, it's sorta melted. Good enough!

Now it's time to add 1 tablespoon of sugar!

(Note: If you plan to use a lot of this scrub for large areas of the body, remember for whatever amount of oil you use, you want to double the amount of sugar)

I did exactly what it told me not to do. I put it on my face.

I couldn't stop eating it either. It tastes so good!

I rubbed the scrub on my face for the same amount of time that I would wash my face for which is about a minute or so. Then I rinsed.

At this point, I was getting kind of worried. Those are water droplets on my face. My face felt really oily.

Once I rinsed a little bit more, and wiped my face off, my skin was a little red. Which, of course, this is expected since I was just rubbing rough sugar granules on my face.

I also had more than enough sugar scrub.
