Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar (or sea salt for a more intense scrub)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (or another carrier oil like almond oil)
• 10 drops lavender essential oil

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1/2 cup of coconut oil. Mix well until you achieve a consistent, grainy texture.

Add Essential Oil:

Add 10 drops of lavender essential oil to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the essential oil is evenly distributed throughout the scrub.

Apply:

In the shower or bath, take a small amount of the scrub and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions. Focus on areas that need exfoliation, such as elbows, knees, and feet.

Rinse:

Rinse off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a towel. Your skin should feel smooth and rejuvenated.

Store:

Store any leftover scrub in an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness.

Benefits:

• Lavender Oil: Provides a calming and soothing effect, perfect for a relaxing bath or shower experience. It also has mild antiseptic properties.
• Coconut Oil: Moisturizes and hydrates the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
• Sugar: Gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting a fresh glow.

Tips:

• Patch Test: Perform a patch test before using the scrub to ensure you don’t have any allergic reactions to the essential oil or other ingredients.
• Custom Adjustments: Adjust the amount of essential oil to your preference. For a stronger lavender scent, you can add a few more drops.
• Avoid Sensitive Areas: Be gentle around sensitive areas, and avoid using the scrub on broken or irritated skin.
