Warm Vanilla Sugar Scrub


This brown sugar scrub smells absolutely amazing!  It's definitely the perfect treat for skin that's begging to be pampered.  Not only is it a wonderful exfoliant, but thanks to the coconut oil included in this recipe, it's very moisturising to the skin as well.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups of brown or raw sugar
6-8 tablespoons of organic unrefined coconut oil (can use other oils if preferred such as olive, Argan, almond...)
15-20 drops of vanilla essential oil (may be substituted with vanilla fragrance)
Directions:
If your coconut oil is solid at room temperature, briefly warm just enough to aid in the melting the process.  Then in a small bowl combine your coconut oil and brown sugar, blending well enough to eliminate any lumps.  Then add your vanilla essential oil to the mixture drop by drop, being sure to blend mix after each addition.  Once mixed, scrub should be placed in an airtight container and used within six months.  Apply your scrub to pre-moistened skin, being sure to massage it in using circular motions.
