2 Ingredient Sugar Face Scrub

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

This is an easy recipe to whip up when you don’t have a lot of time.  You can increase the ratios to make more of the mix, and store for up to 3 months.  If you live in a hotter climate, you may want to store this mixture in the fridge, as coconut oil has a relatively low melting point.
