Summer is finally here and I need a complete overhaul and fast. When was the last time you did a total body exfoliate in the shower or tub? My poor spa scrubby thing hangs from the shower head taunting me daily, "go on I dare you, just pull me down and buff me." Listen "scrubby" I would love to give you a little love, but I am a pressed for time or have a kid banging on the door wanting to know where I am, where did I go, did I leave? But with summer here that means no more early morning wake up calls and a little more time for me. So much more time in fact that I whipped up a little brown sugar body scrub just for the hell of it. It's cool and leaves your skin feeling like butter.Brown sugar coconut scrub
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sea salt
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Mix until you have formed a paste
apply to moist skin - after shower, pool, ocean
gently massage onto skin in a circular motion
Rinse off with warm water.
Sounds terrific! Know that coconut oil is super inexpensive in ethnic grocery stores. I buy mine at an Indian market in Berkeley--3 bucks.

Wow, this sounds blissfully amazing. I love a good body scrub, my current one is sea salt with lavender oil. I am ready to change it up, and this my dear is the change I needed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara for the shopping tip as well!
