DIY Grapefruit Sugar Scrub!

 It’s that time of the year in Iowa, the dreaded first snow fall! In Northern Iowa we got six and a half inches of snow! With snow comes cold weather, and with cold weather come the even more dreaded dry skin. Earlier this week I whipped up a batch of my all time favorite homemade sugar scrub!

Who doesn’t love a new sugar scrub, and I absolutely love the smell of this one…Grapefruit! (But of course you can choose your favorite sent if you’d like!) I also love this sugar scrub, because it’s SO simple to make, and it’s one of the best sugar scrubs I’ve used. Plus, I think these sugar scrubs are going to make great gifts for those who you always give something small to!

Here’s the recipe:

1 Cup Coconut

1 ½ Cup white sugar

20-30 drops grapefruit essential oil (Or whatever scent you choose)

·      I was able to find the grapefruit oil I used at TJMaxx. I have also used Lavender, which is also great!

Mix together with beaters until mixture is combined. You can choose to add food coloring if you want, this time I decided I didn’t want to.

Be sure to keep your finished sugar scrub in an airtight container! I was able to find these cute little jars at Target in the dollar section!
