2.Apply to clean, damp skin using circular motions to exfoliate the skin. Rinse off completely, then towel dry. Moisturize as desired.

3.To make ahead: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. The coconut oil will harden in the fridge; bring scrub to room temperature before using.

Hydrating cucumber and cooling mint bring soothing and inflammation-quelling properties to this homemade DIY body exfoliator. The fine grains of sugar help shed dry skin, and skin-quenching coconut oil sweeps in to give a supple glow that lasts even after washing. While the scrub is completely edible, we don't recommend actually eating it.

INGREDIENTS:

- ⅓ cup chopped cucumber

- ⅓ cup fresh mint leaves

- 2 teaspoons raw virgin coconut oil, melted

- Scant ⅔ cup granulated sugar

PREPARATION: 10 MINS

READY IN: 10 MINS
