Making your own luscious bath and body treats doesn’t have to be a complicated endeavor. In fact, it can be as easy as strolling through Target. This easy body scrub recipe blends fresh strawberries with moisturizing coconut oil and Burt’s Bees Citrus & Ginger Body Wash. This gives the scrub a soft, foaming base that will condition the skin but rinse away easily.

I love incorporating fresh ingredients, like berries, into my beauty recipes. Not only do fresh ingredients make recipes more appealing, they also boost the beauty benefit of handmade products. Strawberries, for example, contain gentle acids that can help brighten your skin – an excellent addition to a body scrub!

Strawberry Ginger Sugar Scrub

Ingredients
– 1 cup organic sugar
– 2 ripe strawberries, leaves and stems removed
– 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, melted
– 2 tablespoons Burt’s Bees Citrus & Ginger Body Wash

Directions

1. Combine strawberries, coconut oil, and body wash in a small blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
2. Mix blended ingredients with sugar, then transfer to clean jar.

To Use
Apply a generous amount of scrub to damp arms, legs, and torso. Massage the scrub gently in a circular motion to exfoliate your skin. Rinse with water.

I packaged my scrubs in mason jars decorated with glitter tape. The pint-sized containers held two batches of scrub each! That’s a lot of scrub. Next time I would probably go with something smaller, like a 4-ounce jelly jar.
