Fresh, smooth, and glowing skin is a must in the summer months, but I’m always frustrated with the cost of and the ingredients in store-bought body scrubs. I prefer my bath products to be all-natural if possible, but many of the “organic” brands are super pricey and still have tons of preservatives. After doing a bit of research, I came up with my own scrub recipe that has become staple in my shower.
The best part? It’s so inexpensive and a breeze to whip up with just one trip to the grocery store. When I’m making a batch, I double or triple it and make a few jars for my girlfriends. I scent this with a therapeutic essential oil blend called Citrus Bliss from doTERRA. It is a mix of Wild Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Bergamot, Tangerine, Clementine, and Vanilla oils. The scent has proven to be uplifting and energizing and promotes feelings of self-esteem.
Yes, please!
Packed into smaller jars, these would be excellent favors for a bridal or baby shower, too! Below is my recipe for this moisturizing, invigorating, and comforting Brown Sugar and Citrus Body Scrub:

Enjoy!
Can’t wait to make this! Thanks for sharing!
Re: Coconut oil: I could and do, eat/ cook w/ it, apply it to my skin, apply it to my hair and scalp (lightly) before a swim in residential pool. Scrubs hmm, w/ dry facial skin, have to be very careful but just wanted to say how USEFUL coconut oil is for SO many things. As well as cleaning w/ baking soda and distilled white vinegar for non toxic house hold cleaning for stove top, counters in kitchen, bathroom. Not recommended for hardwood ! Love xo
