    Add some coconut oil, brown sugar, and essential oil and thanks to this Dollar Tree DIY, you've got a cheap and easy sugar scrub recipe that makes a thoughtful gift for 10 friends.

     

    Tonight I attended a Young Living Essential Oils Class and was able to give all 10 attendees a little take home. These containers hold just the right amount for a foot, hand, face, or lip scrub. If you teach essential oil classes and like to have something to give as a door prize, this sugar scrub recipe is a simple way to do that. Alternately, this Dollar Tree DIY is cheap enough to make an appearance at a make-and-take class!

    Dollar Tree DIY Sugar Scrub Recipe

    Ingredients (makes exactly enough for 10 2.3 oz containers)

    • 2 cups brown sugar lightly packed
    • 1 cup coconut oil
    • 10 drops Young Living Essential Oil*

    diy sugar scrub recipe ingredients

    Directions

    1. Mix coconut oil and brown sugar together

    2. Pack sugar scrub into containers. Since essential oils are not supposed to be stored in plastic long-term, I gave out the scrubs without essential oil and instructed each oily friend to mix in one drop of their favorite oil just before use. If you’re making the entire batch for yourself you can mix in 10 drops of essential oil and store it in a Mason jar in a dark place.

    Alternatively you can make up 10 for yourself and add one drop of whichever essential oil your prefer just before use. It’s like having access to 10 different scrubs!

    Essential Oil Suggestions:

    • Frankincense – Excellent facial scrub
    • Stress Away – Relaxing full body scrub to use in the bath or shower before bed
    • Lemon – Exfoliating, brightening hand scrub
