Hey guys!
This week I will be doing a DIY scrub. I use this scrub as a pre-shave on my legs and to exfoliate the whole body. It is moisturizing, not abrasive, and makes your skin feel amazing! I have eczema and this scrub doesn't irritate it. This scrub smells exactly like snickerdoodle cookies. If you really wanted to you could eat it too ;) I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:
*You will need a jar and possibly a funnel
- 6.5 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (you can use unbleached sugar, but i find that to be more coarse)
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt (you can use regular salt, but Himalayan salt has more antioxidant properties)
- 1/2 tablespoon Honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil (refined or unrefined, fun fact: refined is OK for use on your body but you should only consume unrefined coconut oil)
Yields: 4 oz. of Snickerdoodle Scrub
Directions:
- Fill a separate bowl with granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt, honey, and vanilla.
- Mix ingredients throughly together.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in the microwave.
- Pour coconut oil into mixture & stir throughly.
- You may have to add slightly more sugar or more coconut oil depending on the consistency. The mixture should be thick but pliable.
- Fill jar & enjoy!
Uses:
- Exfoliation before shaving legs (make sure you rise it off before putting a razor to your legs/body)
- Pre-spray tan or spending time in the sun
- Hand, facial, and body scrub- perfect for the dry winter months up North!
