This post has been sponsored by Barlean’s, however, all opinions are my own (as always!) I’m very excited to be a part of the Barlean’s Blogger Program. Their products are amazing and a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. #DIYBeauty #aBarleansHoliday #Barleans #ad
Our Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub starts with Barlean’s Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. I’m a big fan of this product because it’s just so very versatile! Not only can you cook with it, of course, but it is great for your skin, too.
This Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub is perfect for exfoliating dry winter skin, and yes, it is good enough to eat. In fact, without the body wash, it is safe to eat! The body wash gives this scrub a cleaning agent, but is optional.

Make a DIY Beauty Gift Basket
This Coconut Oil Sugar Scrub makes a great addition to any beauty gift basket. I like to package them in smaller 4oz jars (this ‘recipe’ will make two 4oz jars). Then you can make some of these other great DIY beauty items to create a beautiful gift basket:

They have such great stuff, right??
I bet this smells amazing! I would love it!!
I love these kinds of make at home beauty treatments! I’m pinning this for later 🙂
Awesome! Love it.
This looks so fun! Will definitely make this soon!
Does this leave a scent after using it? Great tutorial!!
They’re a light scent – definitely not overpowering. Enjoy!
Is it 1 cup coconut oil? I’m seeing just “1 cup” in the ingredient list. Is the coconut oil to be melted or left in solid state?
Hi there! Yes I’ve corrected the “recipe” – so sorry! Keep it in the solid state.
The chances of you replying to my comment after so much time are low but I wanted to ask how long the scrub lasts. Will it last for atleast 2 months? I loved this “recipe” and wanted to make this and gift it to my bestfriend who’s a skincare fanatic. Love this!
Hello there! This will last for 2-3 months when properly sealed. If it is closed up for awhile, you may need to mix it up before using. Enjoy!
