Lemongrass Sugar Scrub

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, Lemongrass is my favorite scent right now.  I can't get enough of it! Not only does it smell good, but it has a lot of beneficial properties as well.

Since I love the smell so much, I decided to bring the smell to my shower.  I found some sugar scrub recipes online and decided to substitute whatever essential oil they were using with lemongrass.  I found this grapefruit scrub recipe from Bulk Apothecary.

Ingredients

Lemongrass essential oil (or any other essential oil you might like)

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of coconut oil (it should not be melted)

Combine all the ingredients.  I used about 30 drops of Lemongrass essential oil.  You can use more or less, depending on how strong you want the smell.  

 Put the ingredients in a blender and blend for a few seconds.  It really didn't take me that long to blend mine so it looks like frosting like the picture below.  Of course, I used a Blendtec and those are pretty powerful.

Put your sugar scrub in a container with a lid and keep it in your shower.  This recipe really didn't make a whole lot.  I can see using it up after a couple of showers.  If you end up really liking it you can always double or triple the recipe.
