Simple Sugar Face Scrub

  • 1 tsp organic cane sugar
  • 1-2 drops of water

How you do it:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.   Using the tips of your fingers, gently rub scrub into clean face. Take care to avoid the eyes. Remove by rinsing with cool water, and pat dry with a clean towel. Add on a layer of oil as a moisturizer, if necessary
This sugar scrub gets rid of dead, dry skin, leaving you with a fresh and clean face.  Essential oils all add their own unique properties to the scrub, which you can learn about here.

Combine coconut oil and sugar in a small bowl, and stir to combine.  Rub sugar face scrub into clean facial or neck skin, using gentle circular motions, for 60 seconds.  Rinse dry with warm water. 
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.
