Homemade coconut & lime body scrub


I'm always in the mood for coconut, whether it is to eat, drink, wear as perfume or used in beauty products. 
The other day whilst I was having a 'way too healthy' breakfast (see here), I decided I would use the breakfast props and indulge in some DIY beauty therapy! This recipe would probably have sounded even more delicious if I had used sugar instead of salt (for the scrub effect) but Epsom salts have great benefits on the skin.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut shavings
1 cup Epsom salt
1 large lime
Coconut oil

Method:
*In a bowl mix the Epsom salt and coconut shavings 
*Add a splash of lime juice and its zest followed by the coconut oil
*Adjust the ingredients till you have reached the consistency desired

    I love coconut as well. My sister is good about making homemade skinscare and scrubs like this, and this one seems quite easy, so I will have to try it out. Coconut is so good for you, my family has used it for decades! Great DIY, thanks so much for sharing.
