Today for Cut the B.S Wednesday, we are cutting the BS around skin care, and I’m sharing a DIY recipe for making your own all-natural Coconut Vanilla Body Scrub. Commercial body scrubs often contain small ‘exfoliating beads’ that are made with a plastic like material that not only takes years to breakdown, but exposes your system to parabens, excess estrogen mimickers and hormone disrupting chemicals. FUN! Keep is simple when it comes to body care, and try this recipe below to achieve smooth, silky and hydrated skin.

Homemade Vanilla Coconut Body Scrub

  • Widemouth, Short Mason Jar
  • 1/2 cup organic sugar
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tbs vanilla extract
  • 10-20 drops of Wild Orange Essential Oil

In a medium sized bowl, add coconut oil, followed by sugar added in small increments. Mix it throughly. Add vanilla extract and EO. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed. Place into your wide mouth mason jar. Leave it in your bathroom,  or if it’s a hot day, put it in the fridge to let it set.
