YOU’LL NEED
- 1 cup of Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup of Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup of Cocoa Powder
- 1 tespoon of Vanilla Extract
- 1-2 Vitamin E Oil tab(s) – optional
- A cute jar – optional
Before jumping into the crafting process, let’s quickly talk about these ingredients and their benefits for your skin. I decided not to include brown sugar because it’s the base of the scrub – there really isn’t much to say about it.
COCONUT OIL
Coconut Oil is an amazing moisturizing ingredient for your skin, the perfect addition here to prepare your skin for more moisturizer later. It is great to help you fight cellulite and imperfections (like acne), as well as hyperpigmentation and razor bumps. Also, it is a good ingredient to use either before or after shaving.
VANILLA EXTRACT
You may think Vanilla Extract is only here for an extra kick of flavor (which isn’t a lie), and I believe you’ll be surprised to hear that this ingredient also has a few tricks up its sleeve when it comes to skincare. This ingredient is full of antioxidant properties that not only help keep the skin nice, healthy and hydrated. Also, it has anti-aging properties that can also help smooth out annoying wrinkles.
COCOA POWDER
Lastly, Cocoa Powder. I know it may seem crazy, but this is also an interesting ingredient when it comes to skincare. Besides being the delicious cinnamon hot cocoa base it is, it can help enhance your complexion and improve its elasticity. Also, it can exfoliate the skin and make it softer.
If you’re planning to make this recipe as a gift, it would be best to add 1 or 2 Vitamin E Oil tabs to your coconut oil. It may not seem like much, but they’ll actually prevent the product from going bad, and they’ll allow you to store it outside of the fridge freely. Also, why not put it in a cute jar while you’re at it?
Alright, enough chit-chat and let’s get crafting!
The first thing you want to do is melt your coconut oil completely. Once you have a clear and smooth liquid, it would be a good idea to add those Vitamin E tabs we were talking about earlier.
While the oil is melting, mix together the sugar and the cocoa powder. Then, add the vanilla extract to the now liquid coconut oil and stir them together.
Lastly, add the liquid base to the powder one and mix everything together for a couple of minutes.
And your DIY hot cocoa body scrub is all ready to go!
