DIY Vanilla Almond Sugar Scrub With Coconut Oil

Hey guys!  I recently mentioned in a previous blog post that I am really getting into natural skin care. So today I thought I would share my recipe for a VERY hydrating body scrub I've been using and loving.  It only takes a couple of ingredients and makes your skin feel downright amazing.


The only things you really have to use are sugar and coconut oil. I added a couple drops of almond flavoring just for the luscious scent, and a couple of drops of vitamin E.  Vitamin E is not only great for your skin but it's also a natural preservative for oils in your homemade concoctions.  I used two parts sugar (mine is a coarse, organic cane sugar, but any will do) and one part coconut oil (I used Monoi Coconut Oil with Vanilla, it's 100% pure and smells good enough to eat).  And again, I just added a couple of drops of almond flavoring and vitamin E oil. I made very little, about enough for a week.  I just scooped it into an empty candy dish I had, nothing fancy. If I was giving this to someone as a gift I would package it a little nicer. 



I'll quickly tell you how I use this. I do all my stuff in the shower first: soap up, shave, rinse my hair, etc.  This is literally the last thing I do in the shower, as it's very emollient and oil based. I just take a couple of scoops into my hand and scrub away all over my body. I take special care to also do my feet, I swear, you don't even have to use a pumice stone or anything, this makes your feet feel SO soft.  I then rinse off really well (water will bead off your skin due to the oil), and wrap my hair up in a towel and then towel off my body. You are left with very soft, supple skin.  A body lotion is totally optional, you don't even need one. Note:  if you do not like feeling slightly oily and/or greasy, either adjust the recipe to your liking...add more sugar - less oil...or skip the scrub altogether. Once you towel off you are not oily or greasy, but I know some people hate the thoughts of being oily at all.  I personally love it and prefer it as opposed to a cream moisturizer or lotion. Soft, glowing, buttery skin is my thing. 

If you have any questions just let me know!  I got my sugar, vitamin E, and almond flavoring at Walmart.  My vanilla coconut oil I ordered from Vitacost. Have a great week, everybody!

  3. Anyone who has ever been in the nutrition store knows how complicated it can be when choosing fish oil pills or omega 3 pills from the many that are available. Whenever trying to decide best fish oil supplement you should consider where the source of where the fish came from.

  13. 슬롯게임 영상제공 업체는 https://slotgamesite.com/ 슬롯사이트 수 십 군데가 넘습니다. 슬롯을 이용해 보신 분이라면 영상사마다 프리스핀이 터지는 빈도가 모두 다르다는 것을 느끼셨을 것입니다. 우선 사이트에서 먹튀는 할 수 있어도 환수율을 조작하는 것은 불가능합니다. 그 이유는 대부분의 슬롯사이트는 자체개발한 게임이 아닌 마이크로밍,ROYAL 등 대형 슬롯 솔루션 분양업체에서 분양비를 내고 영상을 제공 받게 됩니다. 그렇기

    에 똑같은 영상을 공급하는 업체에서는 이용자가 각자 다른 사이트의 모든 유저들을 상대로 환수율을 조절하는 것이기 때문에 단독으로 환수율을 조절할 수는 없습니다. 하지만 간혹 자체개발한 영상으로 유저들을 호구 보듯이 하는 업체들도 있습니다. 이러한 곳은 저희는 절대 인증업체로 선택하지 않고 있습니다. 그 중에서도 가장 유저들이 게임을 즐겁게 할 수 있는 게임업체만을 소개해드리고 있습니다.
