Lime & Coconut Exfoliating Sugar Scrub

 

 

I know. I know, I’m slack. I’ve cooked a hundred things since the last time I posted on here but haven’t loaded them up. It’s crazy busy all the time!! haha.

I hate waste, so when I make almond milk, I like to use the pulp after straining to make sugar scrubs. They are so easy to do and are so lovely on the skin. It’s 40 degrees here right now and hot sugar ferments in a few days, so I recommend storing this in this fridge and just having a small amount in a covered container on the side of your bath or shower.

P.s. it’s edible. lol.

1/4 c almond meal pulp or 1/4 c YIAH key lime dukkah (optional)*

1 cup sugar – any type but I use 1/4 c raw plus 3/4 c white granulated

1/4 c coconut oil

1/4 c YIAH wild lime evoo (if you don’t have this, double the quantity of coconut oil and add 1 tbsp lime juice)

1/4 c coconut

drop or two of green food colouring (to the colour you want)

Method:

Mix it all together and put in a jar. If its too dry add more oil, too sloppy add more sugar. If you have some YIAH key lime dukkah on hand sprinkle it over the top, but its only cosmetic so no drama if you don’t have it

Note* if not using the almond meal or dukkah, add additional 1/4c raw sugar

To use, take a golf ball sized amount and rub it in to your skin to slough off dead skin. Rinse and dry. Try not to eat it while you are having a shower lol
