Title: Easy Sugar Scrub Cube
Ingredients:
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup coconut oil
– 1/4 cup almond oil
– 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oil (such as lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus)
– Silicone mold (ice cube trays work well too)
Instructions:
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the coconut oil and almond oil. Heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds until the oils are melted and well mixed.
2. In a separate bowl, measure out the granulated sugar.
3. Slowly pour the melted oils into the sugar, stirring continuously until the mixture resembles wet sand. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit more melted coconut oil.
4. Add your chosen essential oil to the sugar mixture and stir well to distribute the scent evenly.
5. The consistency should be like damp sand that holds its shape when squeezed together.
6. Next, spoon the sugar scrub mixture into your silicone mold or ice cube trays, pressing down to compact the mixture into each cavity.
7. Place the mold in the refrigerator and allow the sugar scrub cubes to harden for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight for best results.
8. Once solid, pop the sugar scrub cubes out of the mold and transfer them to an airtight container for storage in a cool, dry place.
To use, take one sugar scrub cube into the shower or bath with you. Gently massage the cube onto wet skin in circular motions, focusing on areas that need exfoliation like elbows, knees, and heels. Rinse off with warm water, pat skin dry, and revel in your amazingly soft and smooth skin.
These Easy Sugar Scrub Cubes also make fantastic gifts for friends and family. Package them in cute jars or pouches with a personalized label for a thoughtful and homemade touch. Experiment with different essential oil combinations to create custom scents for yourself and your loved ones.
Now that you have this simple recipe in your hands, there’s no need to splurge on expensive store-bought scrubs. You can enjoy the benefits of a spa day anytime you want, right in the comfort of your own bathroom. So, go ahead, treat yourself to some self-care with these luxurious sugar scrub cubes!
