Homemade coconut body scrub recipe - with ingredients you already have on hand - for clear, hydrated skin. Perfect for a DIY spa treatment or as a gift for friends and family.
Set the coconut oil in a warm spot - near a stove or oven - until it's softened but not melted. Look for the same consistency as room-temperature butter before baking.
Add the sugar and coconut oil to the food processor and blend until it's smooth and creamy, like loose cookie dough.
Add the mint, grapefruit zest, and essential oil (if using) and blend again until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Transfer your scrub to a glass jar with a lid for easy storage. Use when your skin needs a little pick me up.
Notes
Feel free to use white sugar if you’d prefer a lighter color for your coconut scrub. Keep in mind that white sugar is more coarse, so you may need to use your body scrub fewer times per week than if you use coconut sugar.
