Coconut lime body scrub

Coconut lime body scrub

This is such an AMAZING and refreshing body scrub - perfect for our upcoming summer!

I’ve chosen Lime for this recipe, but all citrus oils may assist to detox the body and skin so you could substitute in any other essential oils including Lemon, Grapefruit, Orange, Tangerine, Bergamot or even the Young Living Citrus Fresh blend which has a hint of Spearmint!

Adding the epsom salt makes it more of a detoxing scrub, so you could add more of this in place of sugar, or if it’s for the face you may like to just use sugar which is a little softer.

And the latest use for what you might think of as an ‘old school’ oil – Lavender, is within a natural face scrub recipe. My beauty routine consists of washing my face with honey, and then using coconut oil as my moisturiser… so you can imagine that I won’t introduce things that I don’t see a benefit from and I like to keep it simple!
