 Lavender Sugar Scrub

I made this today, and its amazing! It smells fantastic, and it leaves my skin feeling so soft. So here’s what I did, so that you can do it too! Most witches will already have these ingredients on hand, and if you don’t, they’re all readily available at any grocery store:

• Pure cane sugar
• Coconut oil
• Lavender buds
• Lavender essential oil

So this is really simple and its not an exact science, which means you can customize it to whatever consistence or potency you want! Anyways…

Combine the sugar and the coconut oil (a little coconut oil goes a long way; even if the mixture seems too thick and hard, just moosh it around with a fork for a while and it’ll loosen up). Toss in some lavender buds and a few drops of essential oil, and TA-DA! You have yourself a sugar scrub! Its gentle on your skin, and it has the added bonus of lavender’s calming powers.

Now, the shelf life of these scrubs varies dramatically depending on the container, the temperature of where your keeping it, whether or not it gets wet, etc. But as a rule of thumb, I wouldn’t use it past 2 months, or once there is visible discoloration (because this might be mold). Small batches are probably the best idea!

Enjoy!
