Brown Sugar Vanilla Scrub – DIY
Ingredients
Brown sugar
Coconut oil
(almond oil or olive oil will work as well)
Vanilla extract
(using pure vanilla is always best, however, if you have imitation on hand, that will also work just fine)
Vitamin E oil
(this ingredient is not necessary and is completely optional. Vitamin E oil can do amazing things for your skin so it’s a nice added touch. You can find Vitamin E oil in liquid form next to the Vitamin E gel capsules anywhere that vitamins are sold)
The Process
The process of making this luxurious body scrub is actually very simple. You simply add all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix them together. This is the time to get extremely creative because you are able to make this scrub custom to your wants and needs. There’s no right or wrong measurement. Just add more or less of the ingredients to reach your desired scent and texture.
It’s best to store this scrub in an airtight container. Mason jars are a great option for this. You can find them at most stores or online. Because of the fact that this recipe doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s recommended to be used within one to two months.
If you’re wondering the best way to use this scrub, start by using a spoon to scoop out a small amount of the scrub into your hands and rub it all over your body, especially on the parts that need extra softness. You can do this with either a loofah, brush or your hands. You’ll find the best results with this scrub if you use it as a treatment and let it sit on your skin for 3 to 4 minutes. After that time is up, you can rinse it off and pat your skin dry with a towel.
