Coconut Oil Face Wash

- What You Need:
- Wide-mouth Mason Jars
- 1.5 lbs of Organic Turbanado Raw Cane Sugar (fairly large granules)
- 1 cup of smaller grain sugar (brown sugar will work)
- 7-10 oz of medium-high heat coconut oil (I buy a 14oz jar and pour more as needed. Be sure NOT to use raw oil- it can burn if not melted properly and makes a terrible mess. Trust me…)
