If you want to make your own DIY brown sugar scrub it’s quite easy to do so. It’s fun to make bath and body scrubs for yourself or for gifts.

I love to use jelly jars to add to pampering gift baskets. If you need a holiday gift for a friend, teacher, or anyone, you can make gift baskets that are quite easy and affordable.

How to make Brown Sugar Bath and Body Scrub

Melt your coconut oil so it’s liquid enough to mix.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together all of the sugars and the coconut oil. Mix well to combine.
Add in the vanilla and the spices and continue to mix well.
Once all the ingredients are well incorporated, scoop the scrub into a jar or jars and seal with a lid.
Label the jar or jars so it’s not mistaken for something edible.
To use, place a small amount of scrub onto a loofah, washcloth, or your hands and gently scrub your body.

Coconut oil is known to help soothe dry sink, so this is a great way to exfoliate and moisturize at the same time.
