After the long and cold winter we’ve had this year I am REALLY looking forward to hot summer weather and wearing my cute sandals, flip flops, shorts, maxi skirts and T shirts… and ditching my winter duds! So I need to get my dry, winter skin moisturized and glowing pronto!
Today I’m sharing an easy recipe for Homemade Coconut Sugar Scrub with a tropical Pina Colada Scent of fresh pineapples and coconuts.

Every summer I love to sip on the odd Pina Colada (or two!) – I just love the smell and taste of this fresh fruit-filled coconut bevvie! It reminds me of Carribean sandy beaches and palm trees – ahhhhhh so relaxing!
So why not moisturize your skin with the same heavenly tropical scent of coconut, pineapple?
** I used this Pineapple Fragrance Oil for this sugar scrub recipe**
I’ve never made homemade sugar scrubs before so I thought I’d whip up a batch for fun to see if it will tackle my dry skin and WOW! It really does work!
The rich, moisturizing coconut oil mixed with exfoliating sugar not only feels fabulous but gets rid of flaky skin in a jiffy.
I love to store my homemade coconut scrub in 8 oz mason jars like this one!
I know I’ll be making more of this scrub and I can’t wait to try different combinations of fruit!!
This recipe will make one 8 oz mason jar of homemade scrub for yourself or for a gift idea!
Just add some ribbon or baker’s twine and a gift tag ( like my FREE Vintage Blossom Gift Tag).

Are you using any of the lemon itself – the juice from the inside? Or just zesting the outer skin of the lemon?
heather says
Just the zest 🙂
