Glow From Head to Toe with This Lavender Coconut Body Scrub

Glow From Head to Toe with This Lavender Coconut Body Scrub

~ by Jodie Lea Cleave

There are so many easy ways to make sure you glow from head to toe, beginning with body scrubs.

Stop buying those expensive, designer, and let’s not forget, toxic, body sloughing concoctions. All you need are a few pantry goods, some carrier and essential oils, possibly a couple of items from your produce aisle, and you’re ready to make a myriad of beautiful body scrubs of your own design.

Here’s one to start you off that’s basic, simple, and yet beautifully effective.

Lavender Coconut Body Scrub

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of coconut oil
• 2/3 cup of turbinado sugar
• 10-15 drops of pure essential oil of lavender

Directions:

Mix the ingredients together in a BPA free container.

(Although I much prefer glass, glass near a shower is a big no-no.)

How To Use

To avoid a mess, be sure to apply the scrub in the shower.

• To begin, start by dry brushing with a few drops of lavender oil applied to the natural bristles of your body brush. (Just add a few drop to the palm of your hand and gentle swipe the brush over your palm.)
• Begin at the feet and move toward the heart.
• After you have dry brushed your entire body, lightly dampen the skin in the shower and then turn off the water. (No sense in rinsing off the scrub before you’ve had a chance to massage it all in.)
• Rub in the scrub. (If you prefer more scrubbing action, you can always add more sugar.)
• Be sure not to miss the elbows, knees, and heels.
• Rinse.
• After your shower, moisturize the skin with more coconut oil adding a couple drops of lavender essential oil.

Viola! Your arms and legs will be luscious and yummy smelling, too!

Sugar and salt are both great exfoliators. Try them and see which you prefer.

Want to change it up, add a chunk of pineapple or papaya to your scrubs for it’s alpha hydroxy acids. Just be sure to blend it before applying. Experiment and let us know what you like best, by commenting below or sharing on  our Facebook Page!
