Here is a simple sugar scrub that uses pantry ingredients, making it quick and easy. 

It's great for feet, elbows, knees, hands - anywhere that gets dry and rough from everyday living. 

You will need
3 cups white sugar
1 cup coconut oil
2-3 teaspoons vanilla extract

Step 1. Heat the coconut oil in a large, heatproof bowl for 10 - 15 seconds in the microwave until it is liquid, but not hot.

Step 2. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and mix well.
​
Step 3. Spoon the sugar scrub into clean jars, decorate with colorful twine or ribbon, and add a label with the list of ingredients and made-on date.

Ingredients:
Sugar, Coconut Oil, Vanilla Extract

This makes six 125ml containers, or four 200ml containers that aren't quite filled to the top.

I bought the tins from a local $2 shop and cut out a circle of glimmer paper for the lid, then created the label in Word using clipart and WordArt. It was printed onto sticky paper and punched out with a 2"circle punch. 

It smells divine, and is lovely to use (I tried it on my garden-weary hands and it was just lovely).
