DIY: Coconut & Rose Body Scrub


You’ll need: a mason jar, coconut oil, raw cane sugar, almond or jojoba oil and one fragrant rose (sterling silver roses were used here.)

1. Use a small mason jar or any clear jar with a lid.
2.Start by putting a large scoop of coconut oil in the bottom of the jar. You can get coconut oil at any health food store or major supermarket.
3. Next, pluck your rose petals and put them into the jar on top of the coconut oil.
4. Add your raw sugar. If you can’t find raw cane sugar, brown sugar is a great option! The coarser the better.
5. Add your almond or jojoba oil on top of the sugar.
6. Wait a minute for your oil to seep down to the flower petals and then top it off with a little more almond or jojoba oil. Last but not least, put your lid on and let it sit so the oils can soak into the flower petals.

When you (or the person you’re giving this to as a gift) are ready to use it, take a spoon and mash it all up. The coarse sugar will break up the rose petals and they’ll continue to break up as you rub the scrub on your skin. The smell is INCREDIBLE, and if you’ve had a hard week (or even if you haven’t) this is a decadent way to start the weekend! This scrub can have a shelf life of one year.
NOTE: all measurements are subject to the size of your jar. Break it up into thirds– in other words, everything should be equal parts and each layer should take up 1/3 of the jar.
