Coconut Lime Sugar Scrub

This Coconut Lime Sugar Scrub leaves your skin feeling soft and your senses refreshed! This makes a fantastic DIY gift!

I love making sugar scrubs for myself and to give as gifts.  My most popular has been my Coconut Sugar Scrub, so I decided to play off that original ‘recipe’ to come up with something new.  This Coconut Lime Sugar Scrub has all the same wonderful properties of the original, while incorporating the benefits of lime essential oil.

This scrub is perfect to use in your morning shower.  It helps wake you up and get your day off to a wonderful start.  It’s also great for your skin.  It compliments the coconut oil so very well.  And it is so very simple to make!
