Detox Coconut Body Scrub

My favorite recipe for body scrub. This magic formula is exfoliating, detoxifying, moisturizing, smoothing and toning!

Ingredients:  Raw unrefined virgin coconut oil
Unbleached raw sugar
Pure Aloe
Kaolin Powder
Any empty glass jar with a lid

Directions: Melt the coconut oil down on the stove over low heat until it becomes extremely soft, or liquified. Pour into the glass jar and wait for the coconut oil to begin to solidify again. Once the oil has thickened, add in an equal amount raw sugar. Add in about 2 tablespoons of Kaolin clay, or any clay that you like, and top off with a generous pour of aloe. Stir it up and you are done!
Another excellent ingredient to add is ground coffee. The caffeine is the coffee is meant to decrease the appearance of cellulite.
If you have very sensitive skin, swap the sugar for ground oatmeal(just throw oatmeal in the blender) and take out the clay.

Using this body scrub regularly in the shower will keep your skin looking like summer perfection!
