Preparation

Stir all ingredients together in a large bowl. If the coconut oil is in solid form, heat gently in a saucepan for a few minutes until it turns liquid. If you desire a less coarse scrub, add a few extra tablespoons of coconut oil.

Pour the mixture into a glass or BPA-free plastic container.

Take a few extra minutes during your shower or bath to exfoliate and soak in the calming scents of lavender and coconut. Using a small handful of the scrub, apply in circular motions to your face or body. Rinse with warm water.

Note: Your bathtub might be slippery after using this homemade sugar scrub due to the coconut oil. Be careful when you step out of the tub.
