Spring is here...


Time to exfoliate and shed that winter skin.  Here is an all natural recipe for a body exfoliator.  If you don't care about organic...then just use regular coconut oil...already liquid and skip the step of melting it.

  • 1 cup organic raw sugar (or any other coarse sugar will work)
  • 1-2 tsp organic unrefined coconut oil
  • 2 tsp organic shredded coconut
Mix shredded coconut and sugar in a small bowl, stir until blended. Heat coconut oil in a small pot just until melted. Pour coconut oil over sugar and shredded coconut, you'll notice it liquefies some of the sugar. With a fork or spoon, stir oil into the sugar mixture. It will start to spread. Continue until the sugar is all one consistency.
To use: Apply a small amount to areas you want to exfoliate and moisturize.
