PEPPERMINT BROWN SUGAR LIP SCRUB

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons Organic Coconut Oil
2 tablespoons Honey (I prefer local honey)
4 tablespoons Brown Sugar
4 Drops Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil

Instructions:

Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl and store in a glass container-I use a medium sized baby food jar and this recipe fills it perfectly! Feel free to change your essential oils to suit your taste but I don’t recommend using brands other than Young Living because you will be putting this on your mouth and many brands other than Young Living are not suitable for ingestion (Young Living oils are therapeutic grade.) I personally like the minty flavor of the peppermint but citrus would be great too I think!

Green Tea Sugar Scrub
What You Need:

1 Cup of Granulated Sugar

1/8 Cup of Grapeseed Oil

1/8 Cup of Brewed Green Tea (cooled)

1 Bag of Green Tea (not brewed)

Directions:

Combine all the ingredients and mix well.

(I recommend adding a little brewed tea at a time.)

I find that adding the bag of loose tea to the scrub makes the scrub more interesting aesthetically. It also adds scent and texture.

Apple Cinnamon Sugar Scrub

Ingredients:

1 C. Coconut Oil
1½ C. Sugar
1 Medium sized Apple (or Chamomile Essential Oil)
Cinnamon Extract (located in the baking aisle near the spices)
4-5 4 oz. Jelly Jars
Sprinkle of Cinnamon Powder

Instructions:

Using a small paring knife cut the apple into smaller chunks and puree in a blender or food processor until it is smooth and set aside.
In a medium size bowl, combine the coconut oil, sugar, apple mixture and 1-2 drop of cinnamon extract (a lot goes a long way) Sprinkle a few shakes of Cinnamon Powder and mix well.
Add the scrub to Jelly jars.
Print and cut out the labels and place on the lid; the metal ring will hold the label in place. **For a more rustic look, you could also use a hole puncher to punch a hole in the top of the label – look through with twine and tie around the lid.
Makes 4-5 4 oz. Jelly jars. The recipe can also be made smaller or larger depending on how much you would like to make.
Scrub needs to be refrigerated and will last for about 2 weeks in the fridge. If there is any separation simply stir the mixture.
For soft skin, use scrub on hands, elbows and feet. Rinse well.
