DIY Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub for Silky Smooth Skin

✨ Say Goodbye to Toxic Body Scrubs

Store-bought scrubs might promise glowing skin, but they often contain synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and other sketchy ingredients that can irritate your skin and mess with your hormones. The good news? You can make a simple, clean, and incredibly effective body scrub at home using just three non-toxic ingredients.

This DIY coconut oil sugar scrub is ultra-moisturizing, gentle enough for sensitive skin, and totally customizable with your favorite essential oils. It’s a perfect weekly self-care ritual—and makes a great gift, too.

🌿 Why Ditch Conventional Scrubs?

Many drugstore body scrubs contain:

Synthetic fragrance (a common endocrine disruptor)
Parabens & preservatives
Harsh exfoliants that can damage skin’s barrier

By making your own, you’re in control of what touches your skin—your body’s largest organ. And this recipe? It’s pure, simple, and seriously effective.

🥥 DIY Coconut Sugar Scrub Recipe

Ingredients:

½ cup unrefined coconut oil
1 cup organic cane sugar (or brown sugar for a gentler exfoliant)
10–15 drops essential oil (choose from lavender, grapefruit, vanilla, peppermint, or a custom blend)

🧴 How to Make It

Melt your coconut oil slightly if it’s too solid to mix (you want it soft but not hot).
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and sugar until well blended.
Add essential oils and stir again.
Spoon into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

That’s it! Your homemade scrub is ready to use.

💡 How to Use

Use in the shower on damp skin.
Gently rub in circular motions to exfoliate and moisturize.
Rinse thoroughly and pat skin dry—no need for lotion afterward!

🧖🏻‍♀️ Bonus Tip:
