Mystical Beauty

I recently read about a new product-a coconut and brown sugar body scrub, whipped together, and since I happen to have both coconut oil and brown sugar at the house, I figured that I would try to make my own coconut oil and brown sugar body scrub.

I like brown sugar scrubs, and I usually add olive oil, or baby oil, to the brown sugar. Sometimes I add lemon juice, or white sugar to the scrubs as well, but this time I just used the coconut oil and brown sugar.

I keep my coconut oil in the fridge, because it has already been open, and since coconut oil is a solid under 76 F, I had a hard time scraping enough oil off to make a good scrub.

I ended up mixing the oil with some brown sugar, but it didn't dissolve well. The scrub did feel nice, although it made the shower slippery very quickly.

It did leave my skin smooth, and moisturized, without the oily feeling that applying baby oil after the shower does (I know it's bad for you, but I had a huge bottle I had to use up somehow!) I will definitely try this again, but I will leave the coconut oil out overnight so that it will be a liquid.

This is very slippery, and the slipperiness starts immediately, so please be careful when you try this.
