Hand Dessert- Brown Sugar Scrub and Whipped Coco-Cacao Butter Cream




Since starting my detox a couple weeks ago, I've eliminated almost everything processed and synthetic, and decided to make my own beauty products! The aroma of these products satisfy your sweet-tooth while leaving your hands smooth and supple all day long!


Brown Sugar Hand Scrub

2 cups raw brown sugar
2 cups coconut sugar
1/4 cup sweet almond oil
1/4 cup castor oil
1/4 cup coconut oil

Combine sugars together in a medium bowl with a fork to break up lumps. Melt coconut oil in a glass jar in microwave and combine with other oils. Add to sugar mixture with a fork. Pour into glass jar.
Use a tablespoon amount on both hands, scrubbing for approximately one minute before rinsing with warm water. Follow with Coco-Cacao Butter Cream once to twice a week.


Whipped Coco-Cacao Butter Cream

2 cups coconut oil, softened
1/4 cup cacao butter, melted
1/4 cup castor oil
1/4 cup sweet almond oil


Whip coconut oil in a mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Combine cacao butter, castor oil and almond oil in a measuring cup with a spout. Slowly add to coconut oil and whip for 10 minutes. Mixture will resemble meringue. Pour into glass jar. Use as needed.
