How to Make Your Own Cucumber Scrub at Home

Step 1

First, add the chopped cucumber to a food processor. Next, add in the remaining ingredients. Process until smooth and the cucumber is completely processed into smaller pieces. Add the cucumber to a jar for use or gift-giving.

Be sure to store your cucumber mint sugar scrub in the refrigerator. You can take it out a few minutes before use to make the product easier to use. Be cautious when using any product with coconut oil in the shower. It can make the surface slippery and dangerous.
