Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. (Unlike my coconut oil lotions, I do not recommend heating the coconut oil because it will dissolve the sugar.)
Spoon into storage container.
If you’re using the free printable label, print it, cut it out, and secure it to the top of your jar with a rolled piece of tape.

To Use

On your face – Use at the sink or in the shower. Massage in circular motions for 30 seconds. (Avoid hairline so it doesn’t get greasy.) Rinse and pat dry. The oil will absorb immediately.
On your hands – Massage into your hands and fingernails for 30 seconds. Rinse and pat dry.
On your legs and feet – Massage into your legs and feet while in the bath or sitting on the side of the bathtub. Rinse and pat dry. (Never use on your feet in the shower because the coconut oil is slippery and you risk falling.)

Cost

If you already have sugar and a container, you will spend a total of $32.94 buying organic coconut oil ($12.95 for 16oz) , organic lavender essential oil ($13) for 10ml), and Vitamin E oil ($6.99 for 100 soft gels). You will only use a small portion of those ingredients to make one lavender sugar scrub. In fact, you’ll only use 4oz of the coconut oil ($3.24), 1/8 of the essential oil ($1.63), and two soft gels ($.14). That means 4oz of lavender sugar scrub will cost you $5.01!
