Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub Recipe for Skin Exfoliation

   

Written by:

Coconut oil sugar scrub is an excellent DIY skincare recipe to exfoliate and moisturize the skin naturally. This skincare routine removes makeup, eliminate wrinkles and prevent oxidative stress on the face, leaving you feeling and looking younger than ever before.

The gentle properties of sugar granules and the healthy benefits of coconut oil combine to form a wonderful skin tonic for the face and other parts of the body that may be experiencing inflammation, irritation, dryness or high levels of acidity.

You can make a coconut oil sugar scrub with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of softened coconut oil; simply blend the two together at room temperature to form a gritty paste, which you can then apply anywhere on your skin.

More Sugar for Coarse Scrubbing

Some people choose to use larger amount of sugar, as this can give the scrub a more coarse feel, and thus help with exfoliation a bit more, in addition to the moisturizing and cleansing power of the coconut oil.

Spice it up with Essential Oils

Additionally, you can spice up your coconut oil sugar scrub with other ingredients, such as essential oils or citrus zest. You can add the citrus zest from a grapefruit, lemon, orange or lime.

You should use carefully controlled amounts of essential oils, such as orange or lemon, as they can be far more potent than the other base ingredients. No more than 1/2 teaspoon of essential oils should be used, which will be plenty in terms of their pleasant aroma and the concentrated health benefits they can deliver.

Shelf Life

A coconut oil scrub like this can last for more than a year, although the more extra ingredients you add, such as citrus zest, the shorter the shelf life will be. Also, if you use citrus essential oils in the mixture, it is not suggested to use on the face, as the essential oils can be very irritating to the eyes.

How Do You Use this DIY Face Exfoliating Scrub?

Selfcare with Coconut Oil and Sugar Scrub for Face

Using a coconut oil sugar scrub for your face consists of gently massaging the scrub into your face in slow circular motions. The coconut oil should dissolve within 30 seconds to 1 minute, leaving your face feeling a bit grainy, but also stimulated and rosy in the cheeks. You can then rinse the area and pat the skin dry, which will allow any excess oil to continue soaking into the skin.
