This is the
tip of the DIY Beauty iceberg – the colours, scents, oils and ingredients means
that a whole loads of personalisation is possible and you can tailor to anyone
and everyone.
For my base,
I used Coconut Oil. It’s cheap, it’s
everywhere and the benefits are widely known.
A 500g jar costs around £2 and will make up 3 body scrubs and 3 lip
scrubs no problem.
I scooped
1/3 of the coconut oil into a mixing jar [unmeasured as the quantities were
very much altered to suit my preference] and broke it up with a fork to make it
easier to work with.
My ‘scrub’ element was white granulated sugar and I added 1 cup in total, a ¼ cup at a time, mixing in with my fork and testing the consistency as I went until I was happy with the ratio.
Next, the oils and scents. I wanted something fresh, clean and light, so opted for a blend of mint oil and cucumber oil – two caps full of each, but adding one cap at a time, mixing and testing the blend as I went.

This is the
stage where you can add any colourings, additional exfoliants or even dried
flowers before transferring to your chosen pots. I picked up a selection of lip pots from the
pound store and a couple of larger jars from amazon and even went as far as to
create some labels [these make great gifts if you use the same oils as me, so
feel free to use the ones below].

I filled a lip jar with the mixture, patting down and levelling before popping in the fridge to harden the mixture. I then transferred the remaining mixture into the larger jar, but left this in its fluffy, lighter state.
Not only does it look and work well, it smells amazing – the perfect fresh scent for a bathroom!
