I went a few weeks ago to my local nail salon to get my amazing pedicure ! And they used what I am still thinking was a strawberry scrub. So I was inspired to make my own !! And thought it was fitting for Valentine’s day as well.
I’m thinking I may give to my daughters elementary school teachers, put in mason jars add cute ribbon and it’s a neat special gift.
Materials Needed:
1 cup Cane Sugar
1 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries
¾ cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (room temperature)
1 tbsp. Vanilla Extract
Instructions:
1. Place freeze-dried strawberries in sealed zip-loc bag. Using a rolling pin, crush strawberries until very fine.
2. Combine cane sugar and crushed freeze-dried strawberries in small mixing bowl.
3. Add coconut oil and vanilla extract to dry mixture. Stir well.
4. Garnish scrub with freeze-dried strawberries.
TIPS:
Tip #1: use organic ingredients.
Tip #2: works as an exfoliator and moisturizer.
Tip #3: You can use fresh strawberry’s it just doesn’t last as long.
This is so easy and fun to make yall !!! And a easy clean up I even let my daughter help she is 6 !! People that are not crafty like us will love this for a gift any day but make a big batch and give to everyone for Valentine’s day !!
