Homemade organic sugar scrub

homemade pina colada sugar scrub

When it comes to beauty rituals, I am pretty simple with it. But I recently started making my own sugar scrubs inspired by my cousin. So in the spirit of the upcoming summer, where I imagine many pina coladas and coconut scented sunblock in my future, I decided to make a "Pina Colada" Sugar Scrub. It's made by mixing together cane sugar, melted coconut oil and lemon juice with zest. That's it! It smells wonderful and leaves your skin feeling soft and fresh. Use it for your hands, face and body.

Pina Colada Sugar Scrub

1 1/2 cup of organic cane sugar
1/4 cup of organic virgin coconut oil
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon

Mix all ingredients together and add more coconut oil to fit your preference.

  2. Oh my gosh, this must smell incredible! I use coconut oil to moisturize sometimes and I love the light smell that lingers after.
