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.

  1. 1 cup coconut oil
  2. 1-2 cups granulated sugar
  3. 6-8 drops tangerine essential oil

  5. a few drops of orange soap colorant (optional)
Instructions
  1. Combine coconut oil, essential oil, and soap colorant together. Add 1-2 cups of sugar until you find the consistency you prefer. The more sugar used the coarser the scrub will become. Grate tangerine peel into sugar scrub and mix well.
