I love the fall and all of the fresh apples! I’ve been making 2-ingredient apple butter lately and I can’t get enough of it! It’s the perfect addition to oatmeal, smoothies, using as a dip or just eating plain! All of this apple-y goodness inspired me to make an apple pie sugar scrub.

APPLE PIE SUGAR SCRUB RECIPE

This Apple Pie Sugar Scrub recipe is so easy to make with ingredients that you probably already have at home. It uses just one carrier oil, and you can choose the best one for your skin. I used fractionated coconut oil because it’s odorless and a drier oil than other oils. You can use a heavier oil like olive oil or sweet almond oil if you have them on hand.

Fractionated coconut oil is made of smaller molecules than other carrier oils, so it gets absorbed into your skin quicker. This means it’s less greasy on your skin.

While I usually use white sugar in my scrubs (it makes a better scrub than brown), I wanted the sweet smell of the brown sugar because I use brown sugar in my apple pies. By using both sugars in equal parts, I get the benefits of the white sugar and the fragrance of the brown sugar.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup fractionated coconut oil or other carrier oil

DIRECTIONS:

To make the apple pie sugar scrub, combine all of the ingredients in a medium sized bowl and stir well. Scoop into a container with a lid.

To use the scrub, scoop about ¼ of a cup and rub in a circular motion on your body. This scrub is great for your feet, hands, and body, but you shouldn’t use it on your face because it can be too harsh and cause small tears on your sensitive skin.

This apple pie sugar scrub will last on the shelf for several weeks! I hope you enjoy!
