Honey Sugar Scrub

Here is the Honey Sugar Scrub recipe that I'll be showing at 4:30PM today at Maker Faire!

This scrub is a great exfoliator and  mosturizer. The three ingredients in this scrub (brown sugar, coconut oil, and honey) all have mosturizing properties. Brown sugar is a fantastic exfoliator for sensitive skin because it has smaller particles than salts and other sugars.


Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
Storage & Shelf Life

This scrub should last un-refrigerated for at least 6 months. Coconut oil becomes a liquid instead of a solid above 76 degrees Fahrenheit, so it may separate from the brown sugar and honey. No problem! Just stir it back up!

Make it!

  1.  This one is an easy one! Just put all of the ingredients into a bowl and stir it up until it is a consistent color and texture.
  2. To use, just take a small scoop and rub it onto your skin. Rinse off the excess with warm water. I like to use it on my feet and legs - but it is gentle enough to use even on your face.

There are plenty of articles online about the health benefits of the ingredients. Here are just a few that go into more depth than I do in my post:
