DIY Coconut Tangerine Sugar Scrub Yummy

I love sugar scrubs, but the 1 's you buy  at the stores are soo expensive! I have found a few recipes that I've tried out and love for a fraction of the cost. Plus its that time of year when you can make a whole bunch of them and give them as gifts! Who doesn't love there skin feeling soft specially during the winter months! you can add a gift tag and holiday ribbon and there you go!

Note: You can create a basic scrub using only coconut oil, sugar, and essential oil. It’s optional to use the grind of a tangerine and a soap colorant to dye the sugar scrub. I don’t always use soap colorants but this time around I preferred to have the orange hue in the scrub. Again, this is for appearance only and could be left out.

Nourish dry skin with this tropical coconut tangerine sugar.
