Ingredients

·      1 cup granulated sugar

·      1/2 cup coconut oil (solid but scoopable)

·      1 tablespoon lime zest

·      1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

·      10-15 fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

·      Optional: a few drops of essential oil (lime or mint)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

·      Measure out 1 cup of granulated sugar and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

·      Scoop 1/2 cup of coconut oil into a microwave-safe bowl and warm it slightly until it is soft but not fully melted.

·      Zest one lime to get about 1 tablespoon of zest and squeeze the lime to get 1 tablespoon of fresh juice.

·      Finely chop 10-15 fresh mint leaves.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

·      In the mixing bowl with the sugar, add the softened coconut oil.

·      Add the lime zest, lime juice, and chopped mint leaves.

·      If desired, add a few drops of lime or mint essential oil to enhance the fragrance.

·      Stir all the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture has the consistency of a thick paste.

Step 3: Store the Scrub

·      Transfer the sugar scrub into an airtight container or jar for storage.

·      Label the container with the name and date to keep track of its freshness.

·      Store the scrub in a cool, dark place for up to two months.

How to Use

·      In the shower or bath, take a small amount of the scrub and gently massage it onto damp skin using circular motions.

·      Focus on areas that need extra exfoliation, such as elbows, knees, and feet.

·      Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat your skin dry with a towel.

·      Use the scrub 2-3 times per week for best results.
