Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup white sugar (for exfoliation)
-
1/2 cup brown sugar (for exfoliation)
-
1 cup coconut oil, melted (to moisturize skin)
-
1/4 cup cocoa powder (excellent skin-detoxifier)
-
1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, add the white sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder and chili powder. Mix them together.
- Add the melted coconut oil and mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to an ice cube tray. Let set for 5-10 minutes in fridge.
- Pop out your scrub cubes and store in a wide-mouth container with a secure lid. The cubes should hold their shape under 72 degrees. In warmer temps, store in fridge.
In the shower or bath, take one cube and smash it in hands and massage gently over the skin. Wash off with warm water. Be careful not to over-scrub the skin: As always, use common sense and be gentle with yourself and your body. Regular use results in softer, healthier looking skin.
Due to the oil in this scrub, it might get a little slick in your tub or shower, so be careful in there! Rinse away any leftover oil from the bottom of your tub when you’re finished. If you only use one portion, you can store the leftovers in a glass jar with a lid. Be careful handling the container, as the ingredients can be slippery.
Do not use on broken or freshly shaven skin. Due to the chili powder, this may cause a slight tingling sensation. For external use only. Use only as directed. Avoid contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children unless under adult supervision.
