I’ve been making DIY beauty products since I recently started using coconut oil! I love this stuff! I made this super easy natural hand scrub.
I used one of my saved 32 oz jars; probably from tomato sauce or apple sauce.
Fill jar 3/4 full with regular sugar.
Fill the rest of the jar with your natural dish soap. (I use Honest. 7th Generation would be good too.)
Add 1 TBS coconut oil.
10 drops of essential oil. I used lavender.
Mix well. You will have to put your spoon or spatula all the way to the bottom and move up and down to mix completely. You will have to do this every time you use it because the ingredients do separate when sitting.
To Use:
Fill 1 palm with mixture. Massage/Srub your hands for 1-2 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry. Apply a hand lotion.
My husband loves this for his dry and cracked and “cold weather” hands! He has used it several times and I need to make a new batch! Luckily it is so easy to make I don’t mind! Also, this makes a perfect easy/cheap gift! I plan on giving this to several family members.
Free Printable for Personal Use:
Save image and resize as needed in a editing program. I made a 2 inch for the top of lid and a 3 inch for the front of jar.
Thanks for sharing!
my hands are always so dry!! I call them “mommy hands” lol!! This would be so great to have on hand! I love that its natural!!
My hands are always dry too. I recently switched to a green cleaning dish soap. It has helped my hands not dry and crack as badly.
