DIY Coconut Sugar Body Scrub - Easy At Home Recipe!

Today I have a very easy two ingredient scrub recipe! Scrubs are great to use 1-3 times a week to sluff of dead skin. This will also provide your body with a closer shave, or if you self tan it will prevent patchiness. This particular scrub only requires two ingredients, making it much more affordable than store bought body scrubs. So let's get into the ingredients and tools you will need!
 You will need: granulated sugar, organic extra virgin coconut oil, a mixing bowl and spoon, and an empty air tight container to store your scrub. You will also need a 1 cup measuring cup and a 1/2 cup measuring cup. 
             First, add 1 cup of granulated sugar to your mixing bowl.
   Measure out a 1/2 cup of your coconut oil. If yours is at room temperature   you can melt it in the microwave or dip your jar into hot water. Make sure your coconut oil is "organic" (grown without pesticides) and "extra virgin" (unrefined, has all of its natural nutrients)
Pour your melted coconut oil into your mixing bowl and combine well with the sugar. When it's well mixed it should look like this. 
 Scoop your scrub into your container of choice. I'm using an empty body butter container, but you can use any air tight container you have at home.

And that's it! This scrub is so moisturizing and will make your skin feel incredibly smooth and soft. It also smells so good, you may just want to eat it, and you can if you really wanted to! 
I hope this is helpful. Thank you for reading.
