You actually can’t beat a sugar and oil scrub (I don’t think).
This one has my favourite lime citrus scent and is super-easy to make as well as super-moisturising on the skin.
It’s adorable. If a body scrub can be adorable - and why not?
And the scent just makes me happy - and these simple pleasures are counting for a lot right now.
It’s the same basic recipe as my rose coconut sugar scrub, but with different scent.
You’ll need:
3/4 - 1 cup white granulated sugar
1/3 - 1/2 cup coconut oil (mine was solid ‘cos it’s really cold here right now!)
Zest of 1-2 limes - I had to used two cos the first just wasn’t giving up that zest
Juice of 1 lime
A few drops of lime essential oil if you have it and would like it - it does make the lime fragrance just sing that bit more so I would definitely add if you can
Mash it all up together, put it in a jar and that’s it done!
I think this is really lovely - it’s zingy and fresh and a really good moisturising scrub.
If you have any leftover (as I did) just put it in a little bowl and keep by the sink for an easy-to-reach hand scrub.
Hope you love it too …
