This is my favorite sugar scrub to make. It easily rivals anything I have ever purchased!
Excellent as a body scrub, it is also lovely to use on your hands when you need a quick pick-me-up. Citrusy and fresh, this scrub will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Once you have the ingredients on hand, it will take all of 5 minutes to put this beauty together.
And, may I encourage you to invest in some good essential oils? I put it off forever, thinking they cost too much, but now that I have them, I use them all.the.time. Not just for making body products, also for cleaning, and homemade remedies for sick, or tired folks. I get most of mine from Mountain Rose Herbs. But have also purchased some of the Aura Cacia brand through Frontier Co-op and at the health food store.
Lime juice, a source of vitamin C, is an antioxidant for your skin and adds an energizing scent to this sweet scrub. While sugar gently exfoliates the skin, coconut oil serves as a great, natural moisturizer.

May is just days away, and here in Texas the temps are starting to warm up fast… summer is just around the corner! Those first few days of wearing shorts and dresses can be a little scary, especially when you’re dealing with dry post-winter skin. So this is where you need a good body scrub on your side. Coconut and lime is such a winning combination in my book!
As with all homemade body scrubs you’ll want to store them in a cool, dry location and use them within 2-3 weeks. Have no worries about the lime zest spoiling in the mixture, the lime oil is a natural preservative. Take care, though, when using it in the shower not to let water get into your container or it might dissolve the scrub.
It’s really easy to zest a lime using this zester tool, it work’s great for zesting all citrus. Be sure to save the lime for another use. You can use any lime oil, but if you followed my last blog post you know I’ve just gotten started with Young Living so naturally I used their oil. It’s the highest quality and priced affordably. I added a little coconut extract just to up the coconut fun since coconut oil isn’t very fragrant… remember I’m wanting to relive my coconut snow cone days.
Coconut oil makes an incredible moisturizing body scrub. In the winter months when my skin is extra dry I simply rinse it off in the shower and towel dry. My skin is on the oiler side, though, so in the warmer months I need to rinse with a gentle soap or body wash afterwards, but I still feel the moisturizing benefits. Just listen to your skin… you know what’s best. Either way this scrub will leave your skin silky smooth and have you ready for summer!
You can absolutely leave out the drop of food coloring if you desire but the small amount shouldn’t stain your skin and adds to the blue tropical party! We have white towels and have zero color residue when drying off.
