Summery Citrus Sugar Scrub

It might be winter now, but this citrus sugar scrub feels as bright as a summer day! This was originally shared on my Modernish Homemaker blog which I no longer update, but with great real and non-toxic ingredients, this is a great winter scrub to make for yourself or as a last minutes Christmas gift...

Citrus is such an invigorating smell and sugar scrubs are great for exfoliating your skin to get a gorgeous summer glow. (One of the few healthy uses for white sugar!). So here's my recipe for an all-natural summer citrus sugar scrub.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. coconut oil

1 tbsp. jojoba oil

1 tsp. grape seed oil

Zest of one lemon

A few drops of grapefruit essential oil

1 cup granualted sugar

Directions

Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan or in the microwave in a safe container (preferably glass). Then remove from heat and add the other oils and lemon zest. Finally add the sugar until the mixture is thick. Pour into a 1/2 pint container with a wide mouth. (I used canning jars).

You can easily double, triple, or even quintuple this recipe to make more to give as gifts or party favors.
