DIY Hand Scrub
Ingredients
- ¼ C light brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ Tbs coconut oil
Directions
In a medium sized bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined. It should resemble wet sand. Keep in an air tight container and use within a week or two, or place it in the fridge if you’d like it to last for longer.
Here’s how you’ll use this hand scrub:
- Wet hands.
- Scoop out about 1 Tbs of hand scrub.
- Gently rub hands together for about 15-25 seconds. Rinse.
- There should be oil left on your hands after you rinse. Allow to air dry.
You can make this in a big batch and divide between 1.5 ounce or 4 ounce mason jars depending on how much you want to gift. Now that I think about it, these would make great stocking stuffers too! And of course, don’t be afraid to make a big ol’ batch of this hand scrub for yourself.

I was intrigued by this "gift". However, I was put off by the admonition to use it within a week. I want something that last longer than that.
