How To Make A Ginger And Lime Sugar Scrub

In today's video, we shall be making a ginger and lime sugar scrub to exfoliate your skin. You will need some coconut oil, a spoon, a stirrer (ideally, wood or glass ceramic), a jar, our jar is 120 ml. We have lime essential oil and our ginger essential oil, we have brown sugar which is quite grainy, as you can see, and we have white sugar which is much finer.

We're going to mix this two together to give a great textured scrub, we are going to be mixing the sugar first so we're going to add approximately equal quantities of sugar, so 2 tbsp of white, then add 2 tbsp of brown. The brown sugar will give a little more of a coarser scrub so you can alter the texture by adding more of the white or more of the brown sugar to tailor it. I've added maybe 2 tbsp of white, 2 of brown and maybe one more of each.

Then you're going to add some coconut oil, and I was just pouring it in. It will sit on top for one then it will filter through and be absorbed by the sugar. Try not to add too much coconut oil to begin with.

You need to see how much gets absorbed and how much and what kind of texture you want. Once the oil is absorbed a little bit, we can start to stir it round, and we're going to add a little bit more of coconut oil and there we are. So, it's quite simple, just be a little bit patient with this, keep stirring it round.

Ginger is quite spicy and warming, and we're going to add 5 drops, five drops of ginger, and we're going to add roughly five drops of lime, equal measure to begin with. Now, we're going to stir this round. That is our ginger and lime scrub. .
