During the winter time my hands become very rough and dry. Aside from using awesome lotions and butters, using a great sugar scrub on my hands helps soothe them so much. This is one of the simplest recipes I have ever whipped up, yet one of my favorites. If you are a fan of sugar scrubs, be sure to try this DIY sugar scrub recipe.
While I have to admit I really enjoy making homemade products and gifting them to others, who doesn’t? The main reason behind starting to experiment in my kitchen is so that I can know exactly what is going into the products I am putting onto my skin that will be absorbed into my body.
Who would have thought that with simple ingredients many people have on hand, you can whip up a batch yourself. I have purchased organic scrubs before for $15+ but they are no longer needed!
Coconut Lemon DIY Sugar Scrub
You will only need a few simple ingredients to get started. While I purchased my glass jars for gifts, traditionally I would just repurpose other glass jars for these type of projects. Click on the ingredient to see where I purchase each of them myself.
Ingredients Needed

- 1/2 Cup of Coconut Oil, Melted
- 4 Tablespoons of Sweet Almond Oil
- 10-12 drops of Organic Lemon Essential Oil
Directions
Add your sugar to a clean bowl. Add in your melted coconut oil and sweet almond oil. Stir well to combine. Add in your lemon essential oil and stir to mix throughout.
Spoon into clean glass jars and enjoy!

I’ve made sugar scrubs before but this one sounds extra delish!
I love sugar scrubs, so making one at home would be great.
My dry skin could really use this! Love the smell of lemons too so it’s perfect.
I bet this smells so good and love that it is an easy recipe!
Oh, it does smell heavenly! I also love to add a few lime drops in as well and it is just as awesome.
I definitely need to try making my own, it’s so expensive at the store! Thanks for sharing the instructions
It is so easy and this is just the basic recipe I will be sharing several more fun recipes soon!
Don’t you love how easy it is to make your own scrubs at home? I have a few essential oils I purchased just for this. I love mixing two different oils together and playing around. I also love to switch up salt and sugar. I’ll have to try this combo!
I almost have everything I need to make this. I never knew how simple it was to make.
It really is! There are so many combinations you can combine to be fun but this is a very simple one I love to start with.
