I admit it... I am a coconut NUT! After reading the book The Coconut Oil Miracle, I started to experiment with its various uses. I put a teaspoon in my morning coffee and use it for other things described in the book. BUT the absolute BEST thing EVER in the entire world is the body scrub that I made with coconut oil. I don't think I got the recipe from the book... just the idea for it. It is a very easy recipe and one that not only leaves your skin soooo smooth, but you smell tasty and want to lick your arm all day. I find myself sniffing my arm. Oh...by the way, don't actually get any of this scrub in your mouth... YUK!
Ingredients:
Dr Teal Epson Salts (Milk and Honey)
Raw Sugar
Coconut Oil
Put 1/2 cup Epson Salt and 1/4 cup sugar together and mix well
Add 1/4 cup of coconut oil and mix quickly (sugar will melt)
Taaa Daaa! Easy! I add a tad less oil if I want my scrub to be drier. I scrub with this in the shower daily and under warm water the coconut oil will spread easily.
I used the Dr. Teal Eucalyptus and Spearmint scent and to make a scrub that is not as sweet smelling. It is probably better for the men-folk although my sons liked both equally.
