Whenever possible, I always love making my own all-natural beauty products. From scrubs to sprays to crazy hair treatments {egg yolks and avocados?!}, I’m all about it. Recently, I’ve been on a sugar scrub kick and have been attempting to make one from as many summer fruits as I can find. As a lover of all things pineapple, I decided to kick off the last few weeks of summer with a little diy pineapple scrub that’s easy to make and so good, you’ll want to eat it {which, by the way isn’t recommended, but totally possible if you’re really into sugar!}
Lets get down to business! Here’s what you’ll need:
• 1 1/2 cup cane sugar
•½ cup coconut oil
•¼ – ½ pineapple (1/2 cup puree)
Take your pineapple and puree it in a blender {I used my Vitamix} for about 40 seconds, pushing down the extra chunks as needed. Blend coconut oil, which you can also melt if it’s easier to process. Add the pineapple coconut mixture in a bowl and add 1 1/2 cups cane sugar to your mix. If you’re desired scrub consistency is thicker, add more sugar as needed. And voila! You’ve got yourself a delicious pineapple scrub that’s perfect for summer. Store your scrub in the fridge to keep it fresh for the next few weeks to make sure it lasts longer 🙂
