Step 1: Gather Your Materials

For the first step, gather all of the materials needed for this wonderful body scrub!

Materials:

1. 1/4 cup brown sugar

2. 1/4 cup granulated white sugar

3. 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

4. 2 tablespoons honey

5. 1 tablespoon of citrus juice (orange, lemon, lime)

6. 1 medium mixing bowl

7. 1 mixing spoon

8. 1 medium glass jar or airtight plastic container

9. 1/4 measuring cup

10. 1 tablespoon measuring spoon

Step 2: Start Adding Ingredients

For step 2, you're going to need the medium mixing bowl, 1/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar.

Add the white and brown sugar to the mixing bowl.

Step 3: Continue Adding Ingredients

For step 3, you're going to need 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil.

Add the coconut oil to the bowl.

Step 4: Continue Adding Ingredients

For step 4, you're going to need 2 tablespoons of honey.

Add the honey into the bowl.

Step 5: Continue Adding Ingredients

For step 5, you're going to need 1 tablespoon of citrus juice. For this specific body scrub, I used 1 tablespoon of lime juice.

Add the citrus juice to the bowl.

Step 6: Mix All of the Ingredients Together

For step 6, you're going to need the mixing spoon.

Mix together all of the ingredients in the bowl thoroughly. Mix until all ingredients are combined.

Step 7: Adding More Ingredients If Necessary

After being mixed together, if you find the consistency of the mixture is too crumbly, add a bit more melted coconut oil to the mixture until the consistency is to your liking.

If you find the consistency is too liquidy, add more brown sugar to the mixture until the consistency is to your liking.

For this specific body scrub, I found it to be a little bit more liquidy than I intended, so I add a little bit more brown sugar into the bowl until the mixture was to my liking.

Step 8: Place Body Scrub Into Container

Place the finished body scrub into the container of your choice by scooping up the body scrub in sections and placing it into the jar or plastic container. Finish by closing the container tightly to make sure no air gets into the jar or plastic container.
