Pampering yourself can sometimes be a little too costly for your wallet or your credit card. Good thing we now have the internet and a plethora of individuals willing to share their knowledge about homemade alternatives online, allowing us to have that spa experience on a budget.
Now one of the many things that we need and often splurge our hard-earned money on is exfoliation. If you’re one of the people who love to enjoy a good scrub, then you’re in luck! We’re here to teach you a way to create your own coconut scrub at home with readily available ingredients that can be found in the kitchen.

For this, you’ll need:

●Half a cup of coconut oil
●One cup brown sugar
●Your choice of essential oil
●A container with a lid

FIRST STEP

Once you have all of these ingredients ready, grab yourself a mixing bowl and pour in your brown sugar.

SECOND STEP

Next, you’ll need to add in your coconut oil and a few drops of essentials oil. Keep in mind that you have to be mindful of your essential oil. You don’t want it to overpower the two main ingredients by a large degree. Two to four drops would suffice.

THIRD STEP

After you’ve placed all your ingredients into the bowl, carefully mix it and make sure that the brown sugar is thoroughly coated with coconut and essential oils. Then grab your container and pour in your mixture. This will allow your homemade scrub to last longer, saving you from using your credit card on store-bought products.

HOW TO USE YOUR COCONUT BROWN SUGAR SCRUB

Using this scrub is basically as easy as making it. While showering, all you need to do is scoop up an ample amount of it out of your tub or jar and rub it from the neck down. Make sure to scrub a little more in areas prone to dryness, like your elbows and your knees. This will help eliminate dead skin cells that give your skin some degree of discoloration.
You may also use this to exfoliate your hands and your cuticles. Just wash your hand with warm water and lather up some coconut brown sugar scrub into your hands, concentrated mainly around the cuticles.

ADVANTAGES OF USING COCONUT BROWN SUGAR SCRUB

There are undoubtedly many benefits to using this homemade scrub. First, it’s cheap and will save you from using your credit card on expensive products. Second, it’s made from natural ingredients, lessening your chances of getting irritated since it’s primarily organic.
Brown sugar is also said to be more gentle to the skin than any other natural exfoliator. So again, you don’t really need to worry about getting irritated skin. It’s also rich in glycolic acid that encourages fast cell turnover. This will provide your skin with a radiant glow.

Meanwhile, coconut oil is abundant in moisturizing and anti-bacterial properties. It’s basically an all-around natural ingredient that fits whatever needs your skin and your body have. It will also restore plumpness to the skin, giving you a healthier look.
Having natural ingredients also allows this scrub to last for a long time. If you stick with the three main ingredients, your scrub could very well last up to a year. Just make sure to store it in an air-tight container to prevent added moisture from seeping in. Doing so will prevent it from developing molds and avoid any bacterial contamination. This is definitely a must-try for people looking to lessen their expenses and stick to their money management schemes.
There’s really no excuse for you not to try this, so go ahead and make one for yourself!
